Question: Can I get a ride-hailing service that operates 24/7 in my city?

If you want a 24/7 ride-hailing service, Waymo is worth a look. Waymo's self-driving ride-hailing service is available at all hours of the day and night, with a safety-first approach and a focus on sustainability. It already operates in San Francisco and Phoenix but plans to expand to Los Angeles and Austin. Waymo's ride-hailing service is designed to be reliable and safe, and it's got a fully electric fleet to reduce its carbon footprint. You can use the Waymo One app to request rides, so it's a good option for people who need transportation at odd hours.

Another interesting service is INRIX, which isn't a ride-hailing service at all but can help you understand urban mobility. INRIX uses generative AI technology called Compass to process 50 petabytes of transportation data to offer real-time traffic information, crash data, safety alerts and more. That can be useful for anyone who wants to make better decisions about their daily commutes, but it doesn't offer 24/7 ride-hailing services.

If you're interested in accessibility, Be My Eyes offers a different kind of service that connects blind and low-vision people with sighted volunteers and businesses. The service uses live video and AI to help people with vision impairments, letting them request help at any time and get assistance when volunteers are available. It's not a traditional ride-hailing service, but it can help people with vision impairments in many other ways.
