The customers can choose the colour on their phone, and the colour of the Beacon will change to their choice. The company had tested something similar before, but never succeeded.

Uber will initially test the lights in four cities: Newcastle, Miami, Denver, and Nashville. The company said that more cities will follow in the coming years, and the lights will be distributed to drivers in December before New Year's Eve.

As of now, only things displayed on the Uber app are the make and model of the vehicle, registration, and a photo of the driver. But now, the interface will have a photograph of the car, and a car on-screen that navigates through the virtual map.
