The Arrival Car was created specifically for '[Uber](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comfort-electric),' the widely popular [rideshare service](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uber-and-weride). The Arrival Car is described as an affordable electric vehicle that will ideally make Uber's service more sustainable. The car itself looks like a small van with a glass roof that extends into the windshield. The style of the car is blocky and futuristic, with monochromatic colors and flat angles. The technology for the Arrival Car is the same that Arrival used in its previous van models. However, while this electric vehicle is a car, it is designed to have an extensive amount of inside room to account for ridesharing efficiency and group road trips.
