Uber claims to have “totally redesigned the way drivers accept trips” with a feature dubbed “upfront pricing,” which displays drivers how much they’ll be paid for a journey as well as where they’ll end up after dropping a passenger off. According to the company’s statement on Friday, the move is part of their effort to make driving for the carpool service more flexible. Uber is also going to roll out a tool that would allow drivers to view other ride requests in their vicinity and choose particular journeys they want to perform.
