In this way, drivers will be able to agree to help customers with assembling furniture, washing dirty clothes in the home laundry, mowing the lawn, among other tasks, reported Bloomberg and The Verge.
The function will be called Uber Tasks and will be tested in the coming weeks in Fort Myers, Florida and in Edmonton, Alberta. And, before accepting, drivers will be able to see an estimate of the profits each task promises.
“This little pilot is the newest way for drivers and couriers to put their skills to work and earn money on their own schedules,” Uber told Bloomberg.
Uber is looking for new revenue, as its sales increased only 11% year over year during the third quarter, which represents the slowest growth in 10 quarters, in terms of revenue.
