A new feature has just been launched in the United States for Uber drivers who want more convenience and safety while driving.

This is a support feature for an existing app, but it aims to significantly improve the rides experience for drivers. With it, you can stop using your phone while driving.

It's very common, in fact, for the battery on the cell phone of those who use the Uber app for work to run out very quickly. This app will also improve the cell phone's energy performance by saving battery power.

Furthermore, would you like to know what this feature is and how it will work in Brazilian cars? Then keep reading to find out all the details and if there is already an estimated arrival date!

For now, there are still few reports and information about the new feature, since it only started being implemented a little less than a month ago in the US. Furthermore, a frequent question is when the service will arrive in Brazil.

However, there is no answer to that question. The global rollout has not yet been announced by the app. So, we will have to wait a while to have access to the new driver app integration mechanism.

But anyway, let's understand how the process works and how you will soon be able to use this feature to improve your running performance.

Have you heard of Apple CarPlay? This is an app developed a few years ago by Apple to make it easier for drivers to access certain phone features while driving.

Therefore, the new feature in the Uber app will serve to integrate the app platform with Apple CarPlay.

Unfortunately, this is a feature that hasn't yet been developed for Android, which also has a version similar to Apple CarPlay! However, the intention is to soon bring this functionality to all systems.

But how will the integration work in practice? Well, all Uber features will be available on your car's dashboard. Find out more!

This way, you can accept and manage trips through the car's multimedia system. All the information that appears in the app for the driver, such as the fare, will be available in the car.

This way, you won't need to use your cell phone to manage everything. Besides being more convenient, this provides more stability for drivers, doesn't it?

Especially with the recurring robberies lately. This allows you to keep your cell phone more protected while at work.

However, it is necessary to pair the device with the car using Apple CarPlay. This can be done directly via cable or via Bluetooth.

In this way, with the information displayed in a larger size on the vehicle's dashboard screen, it will also be possible to use other applications, such as Google Maps, Waze, Spotify, and even some WhatsApp features.

However, it's important to warn against using the app to distract the driver while on the job! Overuse of some features can lead to distractions from driving and cause serious accidents, not only for you but also for your passengers!

In fact, the information began to be released through some emails from the company to professionals who work with the app. So, stay tuned for more news about this integration here in Brazil!

If you don't already have the Uber app, simply search for the app's name in your phone's app store. Uber is available for both iOS and Android.

Once you download it, simply configure it so that you intend to be a partner driver and not a user! Then, you can start working after providing some essential information and setting up your account!

However, on the other hand, Apple CarPlay is only available on the iOS App Store. Therefore, only Apple users can purchase it.

Although Uber and CarPlay connectivity isn't yet available, you can still use them separately and enjoy the benefits the app offers as a driver!

Well, the app hasn't released much more information about how the new feature is intended to work. But it's certain that this measure will greatly improve the safety and work of many drivers.

So, what did you think? Are you excited for this change to arrive in the Uber app? But while this change isn't yet available in Brazil to make your life easier, how about exploring other types of driver apps?

So, one option is Gringo! This app offers a number of advantages for you! For example, it's through Gringo that you can pay your IPVA (vehicle tax) in more installments than usual.

In addition, you can check various data about your car, such as fines, and even access the FIPE table to check current values.

Furthermore, it's also possible to license and create various alerts and notifications. If you'd like to learn more about how Gringo works, and how to download it, check out our review at the link below!
