• Notifying drivers when they achieve targets, make decisions, or when there is a delay in the route

• Introducing a cancellation limit to avoid drivers canceling rides with the intention to take the ride offline

• Offering Uber Gold Coins on certain pre-defined milestones

• Engaging drivers during waiting time with games
