It is currently only available to users of its luxury Uber Black services, costing the passenger extra.
Leave it to venture capital to try to make profits off people wanting their driver to shut up.
Uber has been rising their prices enough that now they are nearly at price parity with taxi cabs which, at least around where I live, are notorious for price gouging. At this point there is little reason pick Uber or Lyft.
Currently passengers can use the app to rate conversational skills, so a driver wishing to increase his score may deliberately try to make small talk.
If cabs were willing to give me accurate estimates on cost of trip I would use them way more. Sitting in the cab watching the meter tick up stresses me out
Check if any of your local cab companies has a trip calculator. A few of the ones near me do and they are quite handy for doing price comparisons with Uber/Lyft.
We take a cab home from the airport every time. It’s never more than $8-10 USD more and they have an App called: Curb. So, seeing pricing and paying via the app is just as easy as any ride share.

our local taxi can tell you flat rates on the phone and uses this american taxi dispatch app that I think is not just local.

Uber has long exceeded taxis everywhere I live. In Vegas we got a “party van” for less than half the price of an expedition.

Weird. I’ve always gotten that as a selection even when selecting a normal Uber. Is this like a double plus silent thing?
