For people who don't prefer chatty drivers, global ride-sharing major Uber is rolling-out "quiet mode" on its luxury services. Under the upgrade, Uber would also allow its Premium riders to request help with their luggage and specify their preferred temperature while booking the ride. Uber Black and Uber Black SUV are the company's premium car services that place riders in high-end vehicles. Originally founded as a luxury car service that could be booked through a smartphone app, Uber later introduced low-cost options like Uber Pool. The company launched its services in India with Uber Black in 2013 and then the premium UberX in 2014.
