# Rideshare Streaming Experiences Uber Offers Riders Free Entertainment with Amazon Shows on Tablets By M | Published 2016-05-13 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amazon-show References: [theverge](http://www.theverge.com/2016/5/12/11663932/uber-amazon-originals-uberlux-upgrade-promo) & [uber](https://www.uber.com/) Uber is hoping to make the time spent in its vehicles that much more enjoyable for riders with free tablets that consumers can use to stream [Amazon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bmw-theatre-screen) shows during their commute. The promotion is exclusive to Los Angeles riders and is offered to riders using the UberLux service. Each car will contain a Kindle Fire HD tablet that has been pre-uploaded with popular television series such as [Bosch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rideshare-safety) and [Transparent](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sphere-vehicle) as well as movies. The promotional service adds an air of luxury to the riding experience, giving consumers something to do while they move from place to place. While a rider might not be inside an UberLux long enough to finish an episode of show, often times Los Angeles is bogged down with traffic -- extending the driving time. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 60% | Activity: 46% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **In-car Entertainment Streaming:** In-car entertainment services can provide a more enjoyable and entertaining experience for riders while commuting. - **Personalized Entertainment Services:** Personalized entertainment services through tablets or other devices can attract more clientele while also enhancing customer experience. - **Luxury Commuting Experience:** Providing passengers with luxury in-car services can allow ride-sharing companies to differentiate from competition and appeal to consumers seeking an elevated commuting experience. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Ride-sharing:** Ride-sharing companies can leverage in-car entertainment services to increase customer satisfaction for a more positive brand image. - **Entertainment:** Entertainment companies can provide streaming service options that are specifically tailored to in-car entertainment services for ride-sharing companies. - **Luxury Transportation:** Luxury transportation services can incorporate in-car entertainment options to provide a more high-end and upscale experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Comfort-Focused Business Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uber-3.md) - [Oversized Ride-Share Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uber-6.md) - [Ride-Hailing App Expansions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uber-and-turo.md) - [In-Vehicle Entertainment Deals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bmw-3.md) - [Event Shuttle Rideshare Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uber-shuttle.md) - [Electric Ride Share Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comfort-electric.md) - [Winter Sport Rideshare Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uber-ski.md) - [Car Rental Expanses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uber-rent.md) - [Perks-Filled Activations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/really-good-mood-machine.md)
