Uber remains an investor in Lime, and customers can rent Lime’s e-bikes and mopeds through Uber’s app. But for all intents and purposes, Uber is out of the micromobility game. Another key difference between the companies is their approach to autonomous vehicles. Uber and Lyft were both...
Uber is the leading ride-hailing app, dominating the market in 107 out of 171 countries (62%), followed by Careem and Grab (Marciano, 2016). As of 2023, RHS companies continue to flourish around the world, with initiatives to incorporate more eco-friendly vehicles, such as electric cars,...
However, the existing knowledge on the factors that affect the choice of different ride-hailing services remains scarce, and the difference of this impact between the users with and without household vehicles (HVs) has been little examined. To fill these gaps, the goal of this study is to ...
If on-demand vehicles can be designed to serve a larger number of passengers as well, some sources of scale economics can be triggered (Fielbaum et al. 2023): For users, the utilization of a larger fleet diminishes waiting times (similar to the “Mohring Effect” in public transport), an...
Uber, Lyft, and other rideshare services are software companies at their core. They facilitate interactions between their drivers and riders and provide a platform through which they can interact. They don’t actually own most of the vehicles that bear their stickers and, apart from those involved...

of central Spain. Two different pruning strategies were carried out: mechanical pruning and no pruning. The stem water potential was measured with a pressure chamber (Ψstem) at two different solar times (9 h and 12 h). Multispectral information from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) was obtained...
Finally, forest landscape videos with durations of 3 min that included the least interference from unnatural factors, such as vehicles and people, were used as the experimental environment space materials for immersive experience. The experimental videos were imported into the VR helmet (HTC VIVE ...
Simulations show that controlled charging - while reducing the maximum power from the grid drastically - has nearly no negative effect on the resulting charged energy and thus range of the vehicles when departing.S. UBERMASSERM. STIFTERD. BURNIER DE CASTRO...
