Uber Rolling Out CarPlay Support for Driver App

[JoshNori]

I often say this about Door Dash. I have absolutely no idea how they stay in business. And that's despite the fact that there is demand for it.

I think DoorDong is profitable whereas Goober is not. So some frat bro needs to come along and pull the right strings to merge the two failures. But this can only be done after they pull a Rockefeller and buy out the whole cab industry with their shareholder’s money directly before they fire off a cannon in the woods saying: “It’s a… We’re Broke 🎉🥳🎊🎈”

Their app is almost 400mb. How is that even possible?

Maps are stored locally. The last thing you want as a driver is to get stuck in a low reception area and not know where you're going.

For all 100 people on the planet who are rich enough......

It took Uber a really long time to add dark mode to both the Uber app and the Uber Eats app

Uber finally added dark mode to the Uber app recently but not the Uber Eats app so I’m hoping that Uber adds dark mode to the Uber Eats app soon

How do you get to dark mode in the Uber app? I can't find it anywhere.

This looks very handy for Uber drivers.

Finally! These poor Uber drivers have CarPlay but still needed to mount their phones anyway.

I would say "I wonder why this too so long", but Uber is very bad at app development.

And they will still need it. If it’s like the Lyft CarPlay app, it will only display the navigation, but drivers still need their (mounted) phones to accept rides, change status, drop off riders etc.

DoorDash stated in their letter to investors the day they went public was that the only thing keeping them from realizing a profit was the current dasher pay model. It's already a record low $2.50 per order and they still can't make it work? They can't lower driver pay anymore.

The corporate peon compensation situation is bad enough without companies specifically starting businesses that can't afford to pay the essential workers.

This is good news!
