Uber is expanding its car-sharing service into North America, starting with Boston and Toronto. Really curious to see if this works for Uber because car sharing has proven to be a tough business. This was one of several announcements at Uber's Go-Get event in London, which fellow #techcrunch reporter Paul Sawers covered. My story: https://lnkd.in/gePdj_kw And Paul's! https://lnkd.in/gqstYu-p

Lyft kicked off a new feature today in a five U.S. cities that, if successful, could help it attract more women drivers. Right now, just 23% of drivers on the app are women while riders are closer to 50%. The feature lets women drivers make a preference setting that prioritizes women and nonbinary riders. Curious to see if this works. (p.s. Uber launched a similar feature globally in March) check out my story on #techcrunch https://lnkd.in/gg2CSAYT
