Google announced earlier that its car navigation service Waze has been launched since 2016.Waze CarpoolThe service will be shut down from September this year.
Waze Carpool was first launched in 2016 and revamped in 2018. This service allows drivers to offer rides to other people who need them, with gas and other expenses split based on the distance traveled. The primary goal at the time was to reduce traffic congestion and air and noise pollution, while also allowing drivers to reduce their gas expenses through ride-sharing.
In this service, Google does not make a profit by charging commissions, in order to attract more people to use it.
However, due to the continued development of car-sharing services such as Uber and Lyft, it is obvious that the usage share of Waze's service has always been difficult to increase. In recent years, affected by the epidemic, Google is obviously unable to continue to support the operation of the Waze Carpool service. Therefore, it announced earlier that it will terminate this service from September, but the original Waze service will continue to be available.
