Google is hopping in the driver’s seat in a direct race against Uber and Lyft with a carpool idea.
Very quietly, Google and Alphabet have launched the Waze ridesharing service in the San Francisco radius, proving that the company is interested in this money-making ridesharing economy.
Users can download the Waze Rider app and request rides using Google’s popular Waze navigation app. Test runs started in May for workers at certain employers in the area. Since it’s been popular, Google is expanding on this app.
