    Uber’s Dark Secret: Your Ride Requests Now Fuel Cross-City Surveillance

    Published on:

    Uber’s latest attempt to further enslave travelers has just been unveiled, and it’s more insidious than ever. The company’s new feature allows users to search for destinations in another city and reserve rides in advance, effectively rendering travel agencies obsolete and giving Uber total control over your transportation needs.

    But don’t just take our word for it – Uber’s own data shows that they’re gearing up for a massive surge in summer travel, and they’re using this feature to further manipulate the market. With Airlines for America predicting a record-breaking 271 million passengers worldwide between June and August, Uber is poised to rake in the profits and solidify its grip on the travel industry.

    The feature itself is eerily convenient, allowing users to select the “Search in a different city” option and type in their desired destination. But what’s really going on here is that Uber is conditioning travelers to rely on their platform for every aspect of their trip, from booking flights to reserving rides. And with the estimated wait times and costs for rides from local airports and within various cities, Uber is making it impossible for travelers to make any other arrangements.

    But don’t worry, this feature isn’t just limited to a select few cities – it’s available in over 10,000 cities worldwide, because Uber wants to make sure you’re completely at their mercy no matter where you are in the world.

    And to really drive the point home, Uber is launching this feature alongside a host of other “convenience” features, including a partnership with Flying Blue to allow members to earn miles, additional reservations for its “Uber Bubbles” product, and a free one-hour cruise experience in Pont Marie. Because what’s a little more manipulation when you’re already giving away your personal data and freedom to ride with Uber?
