Lyft's New Gadget Gets Rid of the Mustache While Personalizing Your Ride

By  21:39  No comments

Whether you loved it or hated it, you can officially say goodbye to the pink glowing mustaches on Lyft rides. The company announced on Nov. 15 a new "car connected" device called Amp, that will replace all mustaches - but make it easier to find your ride.

Here are all the details you need to know:

  • Where will it first launch? Amp will first arrive to San Francisco, Las Vegas, LA, and NYC on Dec. 31 and are expected to be in every Lyft car by "mid-2017."
  • What colors will it show? It will show teal, green, orange, silver, yellow, and magenta.
  • How does it work? The device connects to a driver's phone through Bluetooth. You can attach the base of Amp to your car with an "adhesive" and then Amp should attach magnetically.
  • How long does Amp's battery last? Up to eight hours.
  • What's so special about it? The front of the device will display a certain color that will match a color the rider sees on their phone. In a busy area? Set your phone's display to the same color as the Amp and find your driver. The back of the device will show "messages pushed through a Bluetooth connection," so you can expect to it to greet you with your name, see promo codes, and more.

If the device looks familiar to you at all, it's because you might recognize it from Uber. In Dec. 2015, the company released "SPOT," a color-coding device for Uber cars to help riders easily identify which car is theirs. So far, it only exists in Seattle and is a thinner device than Amp.
