A surprising story unfolded in Arizona: a routine Uber ride turned into a high-stakes crime drama. A cunning driver, posing as a friendly chauffeur, took advantage of a passenger’s trust and stole $223,000 worth of cryptocurrency from their smartphone.

Uber, renowned for its ride-hailing and delivery services, has announced that it will be launching an AI-driven chatbot assistant (GPT-4o) to assist its drivers with real-time, useful information. Scheduled for an early 2025 release in the U.S., the assistant is designed to simplify tasks and provide relevant insights to drivers.
