UberClone

Description

This project reproduce the popular ride-sharing platform Uber.

Our team develop the infrastucture and website to accommodate both drivers and riders. Drivers can view a map and wait to accept nearby riders in real-time. Conversely,riders can submit requests and be assigned to a driver. Riders should be able to complete their request in a timely manner. .

This web app includes authentication and uses Mapbox services to fetch users real time location, calculate driving distances and get driving instructions.

We also have a database to store users ride-sharing history and their ratings.
