Google Inc. wants to simplify the process of carpooling with a new application for its Waze traffic service.
The company is testing a new feature in the heavily congested region around Tel Aviv, called RideWith, that helps connect drivers and potential riders during rush hour, according to a blog post on Waze, which Google acquired for about $1 billion in 2013. The new carpooling app is available in the Google Play Store for users of its Android operating system.
