The new agreement, which builds on the two companies’ existing partnership, will see advanced location-aware tools and functions introduced to the Uber platform in the future, further improving user experience and efficiency across the ride-sharing business.
Ajay Dalvi, Senior Director of Business Development at Uber, said:The mapping capability is key to creating a fast and intuitive experience for on-demand mobility and delivery solutions. Ultimately, it’s all about ensuring end-users, from drivers to couriers to consumers, have the best possible experience when they’re using the Uber apps. In a fast moving world, Uber’s partnership with HERE helps enable Uber to remain a leader in this space with heightened fresh and accurate data, and we’re excited to continue building with them.
