Uber rolls out parking reservations in 15 cities via SpotHero network
Uber launched a service letting users reserve and pay for parking in 15 major U.S. cities, including New York, Chicago and Los Angeles, drawing on the roughly 13,000 garages, lots and valet locations it gained through its February acquisition of SpotHero. The initial rollout targets commuters driving their own cars, though Uber says it eventually plans to use these parking spots as staging areas for autonomous vehicles.
