> I've never gotten in a car without having decided my destination first.

Not yet...

> If letting your rideshare company decide your destination was really a thing, why wouldn't Uber be doing it already be doing it with human drivers?

Because Uber isn't an advertising company. They're still chasing fares like scrubs



agreed. adding discoverability and reviews of Google Maps with a self driving ride share button would be a great combo. i switch between maps and Uber apps to accomplish this currently.


Honestly I have no idea why you are attracting downvotes. This feature seems inevitable, and arguably desirable. I am sitting here trying to use Maps to figure out if there are any pizza places that are open in my city right now, and if I could summon a car with the destination vaguely set to "pizza" and be presented with options, that might be OK, even futuristic.


"Jimbo's Pizza will pay for your fare! Should I place the order now using your card on file?"
