By abhishek maurya
Uber is trying to be the biggest company of world.Its already biggest startup and they raised $2 Billion in latest funding round from Tiger Global Management participated in the newest round, led by its partner Lee Fixel, as did T. Rowe Price, said the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the terms are still private.

Uber hired Google Map exec to develop and manage its own map. The participation of Tiger Global, however, is particularly interesting. Tiger Global is an investor in Ola and GrabTaxi, two of Uber’s largest competitors in India and Southeast Asia. It is perhaps the first time a major institutional investor participated in the rounds of both Uber and its major competitors. And on Thursday, Ola and GrabTaxi announced a strategic partnership with Lyft, which is also based in San Francisco and is Uber’s major competitor in the United States.

Tesla investor hints Uber may buy 500,000 self driving Cars by 2020 worth $35 Billion

By abhishek maurya
Tesla CEO and its one of the big investor hints that they will be ready with self driving card by 2020 and Uber hints that they will by all of them like 500000 units. If we do a bit more calculation then it results into total $35 Billion .

The questions were met with a bit of hemming and hawing, followed by awkward silence. Here’s the exchange:
Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas: [Venture capitalist and Tesla board member] Steve Jurvetson was recently quoted saying that Uber CEO Travis Kalanick told him that if by 2020, Tesla’s cars are autonomous, then he’d want to buy all of them. Is this a real—I mean, forget like the 2020 for a moment. But is this a real business opportunity for Tesla supplying cars to ridesharing firms? Or does Tesla just cut out the middleman and sell on-demand electric-mobility services directly from the company on its own platform?
Elon Musk: Hmmm, that’s an insightful question.
Adam Jonas: You don’t have to answer it.
Elon Musk: [Long pause] I think—I don’t think…

12 Most wanted Uber features Riders are waiting worldwide

By abhishek maurya
This is a compilation post from Quora and other sources for most wanted Uber features. I hope you like these features as well, I f I missed some of the features please comment to to let me know.

Real time fare during ride
Some times I use free ride to go somewhere and it have some limited credit in it,  show me the current fare in real time during a ride so I can end one trip within budget and start another if needed. Its sheer optimization of free ride you get after referral.

Don't ask for location service always (I know where I am, most of the time.)
Do not intentionally break the app when location services are turned  off. I keep location turned off by default, and usually know where I am.  I can find it on a map faster than turning on location and waiting for  it to initialize (and this may not even work well underground or in a  moving train, or worse, a moving train underground).

Let me choose destination on map
Let  me specify my destination (for the fare quote or for actual …

50 things you should know before taking ride with uber

By abhishek maurya
Uber is all good, bad, better, innovative, out of the box etc. This post will point you in some direction if you want to know more about uber before taking a ride.

According to Wikipedia: The Uber app allows consumers to submit a trip request, which is routed to crowd-sourced taxi drivers. As of March 26, 2015, the service was available in 55 countries and more than 200 cities worldwide.[3] Since Uber's launch, several other companies have emulated its business model, a trend that has come to be referred to as "Uberification".

Five of the Stupidest Things Uber Has Ever Done

By abhishek maurya
Update: Banned account is a pain, I have many friends who got locked out form Uber due to suspicious activity, some got their account enabled again after some conversation with Uber support and mostly are banned for life. Here is one scenario when you account may get banned. Read this story till end to get the idea.

Q. How can you regain access of your Uber account once it's disabled?

Recently uber had this scheme of "refer someone, that refferal gets 600 credits and you get 600 when he makes his/her first ride".

I made many people join , though all refferals were real and accounts were created with their permission and presence but all accounts were created from my phone .

I earned many credits. But soon my account was closed down.
Now whenever I try logging in from any acount in my phone  it gets banned within few minutes.
