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.
