You can now use Uber to go directly to another person, and that’s just nuts

Just when we thought we had a handle on using the app, Uber changed the game with another awesome upgrade! People can now make each other destinations with Uber, and we’re losing our minds at the thought. This update takes meeting up with friends to a whole new level. Just sync your contacts, send a location request to your friend through the app and you’re on your way! It’s that simple.

And just when we started to fear the thought of having less human interaction as a result of the app’s self-driving cars, they figure out how to bring person-to-person interaction back into the fold.

Still in disbelief? Check out the app’s new feature demo, below!

“With Uber, you are going from point A to B, said Uber product manager Yuhki Yamashita. “The new Uber to Person feature recognizes that people aren’t just going to point B, they are trying to get to each other.

So cool, right?! The only catch is that your friend will have to stay put until you arrive to the destination. Once the location is locked in, it won’t expire for the next half hour.

We totally can’t wait to try out the new feature!
