The company explains that the Spot devices will be attached to the windshields of the car. Riders while requesting a trip will be asked to select a colour in the app while waiting. When a Spot-enabled car arrives at the spot, it will glow with the rider's chosen colour. Uber adds that riders while waiting for the cars can also light up their phone display by pressing and holding the colour they chose in the app for Spot device, making it easy for the driver to identify the rider.
