our rideshare study
the passenger experience
Because of our ongoing work in new technologies and solutions to elevate the passenger experience in the sky, we couldn’t help but take a look at a perspective that is often overlooked in vehicles- the perspective of the passenger. So we hopped in back and took a look at some of the most important aspects, from leg room to power to access.

favorite thing about Uber according to US Uber users:

Family car or rideshare, most back seats seem to have the least focus in a vehicle’s design.
Minimal head room and limited to no access to charging ports seem to be the norm.
