The biggest problem was that millions of app riders would drop their pin, but it often ended up in the middle of the street, and drivers would end up on the wrong side of the road. Uber’s new Side of Street feature will show the side of the street a rider is on, along with a landmark associated with the rider’s location for smoother pickup.
Uber’s navigation is also getting an upgrade to ensure you get to your destination faster. Drivers will now have access to up to two alternate routes, as well as traffic-based rerouting, so you won’t be late for your meeting downtown or have plenty of time to catch your flight.
