Speaking of safety, UberPOOL is getting safer and smarter by asking passengers to get out at better destinations — even if that means walking a few more feet to their destination — rather than in high-traffic zones. We’re talking about distances of less than half a block, but it can cut major time off everyone else’s commute and ensure passengers aren’t stepping out into dangerous traffic. Of course, riders can always opt out, but getting dropped off at a high-traffic destination will take longer and cost more. Mashable.com – May 4, 2017
