@karlbode.com I constantly wonder what else do ride-sharing apps need to add as a feature...

You have an app, you open it, write or tap a location you want to arrive at, you tap, write or use GPS to get the starting location, pick a tier of car (e.g. the more greener option, women-only, comfort, comfort plus or some other tier), it looks for nearby drivers, one of them may accept, the driver comes and picks you up and drops you off where needed, with a live location sharing feature.
