Uber’s « quiet mode » lets riders silently indicate their preference for a conversation-free ride — for a premium price
Uber on Wednesday rolled out a slew of new features, including the option to silence your driver — if you’re willing to shell out for a premium ride.
The new perks, which include luggage assistance and temperature regulation, are only available to Uber Black and Uber Black SUV passengers. Uber Black guarantees high-end black cars, highly-rated professional drivers, and can cost up to three times the amount of a standard ride.
« Quiet Mode, » which the ride-hail giant says was launched in partnership with home styling guru Martha Stewart, allows customers to request that their driver not engage them in conversation.
« If you need to respond to emails or are in the mood for a nap, make your trip a quieter one with just one tap.
