It's essential for Uber drivers, but it also makes it very convenient and safer for passengers.        

The ride-sharing company is adding a new glow light on the driver's windshield to make it easier to find them.

The new tool called "The Beacon."

When you request a ride, you can select a color on the app and the beacon will glow in that color on the driver's windshield.

Uber is also introducing a live location feature. It's something you can turn on so your driver knows exactly where you are when picking you up.
