Hovee

I'm intrigued by the offerings of Hovee - a rideshare app that recently quietly launched in the app store. It is, at the core, an app for organizing a carpool - sometimes with strangers. From a tech perspective, it's cool to see an app that is learning about people's routes to and from destinations and able to make suggestions for carpooling based on that data. From a social perspective, I find it fascinating that we continue to embrace a more friendly environment of sharing and community. Maybe I'm overthinking it but an app for riding with strangers requires a lot of trust and is, somewhat, a sign of quelling some paranoia that I think runs as a steady undercurrent in our country.
