L'article ens parla del moment quan arribem a una edat on es millor per salut i condicions físiques ja no conduir i aquí ens planteja altre cop una seria de avantatges de la plataforma Uber

• Demanes un servei per et recolleixin 
• Te diuen el temps que tardaran en recollir-te 
• En el moment en que acceptes el servei veus on esta el cotxe que et recollirà, amb un mapa on et va mostrant com se va acostant. 
• I tot des de el nostre mòbil 

Me sembla que el servei de taxi clàssic encara no ofereix aquest tipus de servei. 

Retirement Planner: For retirees, life without a car not end of the world - San Jose Mercury News: "One of the most difficult senior transitions in life is to have to give up the car. The day anyone has to hand over the keys at the insistence of concerned younger family members is traumatic, to say the least. Some states, like Florida, make it easier because a person's doctor can make the decision and be "The Bad Guy" rather than a family member. A letter from the doctor to the state DMV essentially ends the driving privilege leaving family members with the luxury of a Pontius Pilate ("wash his hands of it" ) state of affairs.
But who needs a license anyway now that the sharing economy brings us transportation services like Uber and Lyft? We were in New York City over the holidays visiting our children, including my 2-year-old granddaughter, and had the first reason to download the Uber app to smartphones and start using the ride service. Lyft, its more conspicuous competitor whose cars have the signature pink mustaches, is not available yet in New York.
It's so simple. You pull out your phone, tap the Uber app and type in your location plus the place to which you want to go. Within 15 seconds, a nearby Uber driver gets back to you and says how many minutes it will be before they can pick you up. For about eight different trips, we never waited more than three minutes. What's cool about the system is that as soon as you accept the pickup, there's a map on your phone screen that shows the location of the car that is now on the way"
