I want to add a new feature to the Uber application. Uber is an app where the user can request a black car service to a location for transportation. Some rides are better than the other and in that case it would be nice to keep our favorite drivers in a folder for future use. Currently Uber only allows you to rate your driver 1-5 stars with 5 being extremely satisfied. After the drop off occurs that's where all communication with your driver ends. For example, I get dropped off at LAX on a Monday morning and my driver was amazing beginning to end. He was quick and professional. I begin to think how pleasant it would be if he could pick me up when I returned. The problem now is that I have no way of retaining any information about my driver. With my improvement I would create a Favorites folder that organizes them chronologically according to drop off day and time. Come a few days later when I've arrived back into town I open my Uber app, click the Favorites tab and scroll to find my last driver. I request his services to my location and wait on a response from Uber letting me know if he is available at the moment. If he is available the app would proceed as usual, informing me of my wait time and who my driver is, except this time I already know who is coming. If my preferred driver is on another ride the app will inform me of this and allow me to request another driver or have Uber select one for me.
