Uber drivers with iPhones will now be able to accept trip requests and navigate pick-up and drop-off spots via their car’s infotainment screen, via Apple CarPlay support offered on Uber’s app. Uber is initially rolling out the tool to drivers in the US.



Other than the ability to accept requests and navigating, Apple CarPlay will allow drivers to add rides to their queue, view more route options, see side streets in a better way, and check which areas are busy with the help of heat maps.
