Rideshare

Rideshare

Let me hail an Uber for us...with my mind. I know what you’re probably thinking: Of all the superpowers, this may be the most redundant, since we all have phones anyway. But consider this—I can tip mentally too. And give my experience a five-star rating. Even text with the driver if they’re late! It all started when the car I was in got into a fender-bender—I was momentarily stunned, and when I came to, I’d fused with the Uber application (weirdly, I was in a Lyft). Sadly, I can’t tip the driver telepathically…for that I still need the app.
