SUMMARY

Uber Technologies, “Uber”, is an American company that offers vehicles for hire, food delivery, and more. Uber has revolutionized the way humans, across the world, travel from point A to point B.

My team was tasked with the ideation and creation of a new group feature to aid in the organization of meeting up as a party through Uber.

* This student project was completed on November 20th, 2020, before Uber released a largescale update

PROBLEM

When using Uber to meet up with their party, our users struggled tracking one another’s trip

Our users needed a quick, organized, and convenient way to create and execute a shared group trip through Uber.

  • Unable to create a shared, or linked, ride with others
  • Were not updated on other riders information and destination
  • Difficulty importing or creating contacts

DISCOVER AND DEFINE

We empathized with users, conducted remote interviews, and compiled insights into an affinity map to understand their needs, desires, and pain points
