Now, the Uber app will keep an eye on your route in real time to determine if there's a better drop-off spot to help you get to where you're going faster. You'll get a notification on your phone to let you know about the spot, and you'll be able to opt-in with a tap. It's sure to save you and the rest of the riders some headaches when streets are blocked off or there's heavy traffic near someone's final destination.

The program builds on a similar feature that Uber tested out in New York, where the company says that its saved riders an average of $14 over a regular UberX ride. While the new drop-off feature is only available int he three big cities so far, it could indeed roll out to the rest of us if it proves as big a success for Uber and its customers.
