Abstract:
The disclosed apparatus may include a hardware input and a display. In some embodiments, the disclosed apparatus may include a transportation key controller configured to initiate a transportation request with a dynamic transportation matching system, generate data on the display to indicate the transportation request has been initiated, and modify the data on the display to indicate one or more statuses associated with the transportation request. In some embodiments, the apparatus may enable a user to request transportation via a dynamic transportation matching system with a single button press. In some examples, the systems described herein may predict the user's destination based on context. In one embodiment, the apparatus may interface with one or more additional transportation networks, such as public transportation networks, for example by providing payment information. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
