It’s worth noting that Uber’s main competitor, Lyft, has already integrated CarPlay support into its driver app. The app will also allow drivers to view and accept trips, add rides to their queue, and check their status to see if they are currently set to online or offline.

Just like the iPhone app, the CarPlay version of the Uber driver app will provide a number of useful features to drivers. The report states that this integration should be available for all Uber drivers in the United States by the end of the month. This new integration will allow drivers to access the iPhone app from their vehicle’s dashboard display, making it easier for them to keep track of their rides and stay connected to the platform.
