Expensify and Uber have announced a new partnership with the debut of Smartrides.
With this new feature, users will be able to automatically order an Uber once their plane land, to take them to their final destination.

On arrival travelers will be prompted via the Expensify app to select their desired Uber car service. Travelers will then be able to skip the taxi lines and head straight for their ride.
Smartrides is the first phase in the partnership between Uber and Expensify. In the coming weeks, Expensify will fully integrate with Uber for Business, which will allow customers to centrally bill and manage an employee's Uber trips to increase transparency in company spending.
According to Expensify CEO David Barrett, this is the next step in Expensify's much anticipated progression towards ambient computing - the next evolution of cloud computing. He believes the shift towards a Google Now-like experience is an extremely powerful one, and given the deep insight Expensify has, this partnership has the potential to greatly improve the traveling experience for people everywhere.
