Uber Technologies (UBER) announced a slate of new features focused on affordability at its annual Go-Get event on Wednesday, along with details for its partnerships with OpenTable and Volkswagen.

The ridesharing giant showcased several features for commuters, which will be contained in a new in-app "Commute Hub" set to launch this summer. Uber also will soon offer price locks and bulk-ride purchases that the company says will save money for users who frequently take the same or similar rides, such as people who commute to and from work.

Uber is also launching a feature called "Route Share," which will be available during weekday commute hours and allow users to walk a few minutes to meet at a common pickup point, take a ride with up 🍸to two others, and walk another short distance after being dropped off. Chief🦩 Product Officer Sachin Kansal said in the presentation that the feature could be some 50% cheaper than a typical Uber X ride on the same route.

Uber Eats to Get 'Savings Slider,' OpenTable Partnership

Uber Eats is also launching a "Savings Slider" feature this year in the U.S. and Canada, allowing users to choose comparison-shop on a specific grocery list and be presented with cheaper options than the products they have picked.

The company announced details for a pair of previously announced partnerships during the event, including with Booking Holdings' (BKNG) OpenTable for a 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:"Dine Out" feature. The service will show in-restaurant dea🐷ls where the user is, and allow them to book a reservation in the Uber Eats app with OpenTable's re༒servation network.

The other partnership is with 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:Volkswagen, with Uber planning to offer shared rides in the German automaker's ID. Buzz AD autonomous electric vehicles starting in Los Angeles in early 2026. The companies announced the partnership last month, saying rides were expected to start next year.

Uber shares were down nearly 2% in recent trading but are still up roughly 50% s🌠ince the start of the year.
