Online car-hailing, also called real-time ride sharing, ride-hailing, on-demand rides and ride-sourcing , is a typical service form in the sharing economy. It is a service that allows drivers and passengers to arrange one-time shared rides ahead of time or on short notice

In recent years, with the rapid development of mobile Internet technology and the popularity of smart phones, the online car-hailing market has risen rapidly around the world. Online car-hailing platforms connect passengers and drivers efficiently through technical means, which not only changes the traditional way of travel, but also promotes the transformation of urban transportation systems.

The scale of the global online car-hailing market has shown explosive growth in the past few years. Taking China as an example, the online car-hailing market has become one of the largest markets in the world, and platforms such as Didi Chuxing, Shouqi Car-hailing, and Cao Cao Travel occupy a major market share. At the same time, platforms such as Uber and Lyft in the European and American markets are also expanding their businesses globally.

The rapid development of the online car-hailing market is due to the core of the sharing economy model, which is the optimal allocation and efficient utilization of resources. Online car-hailing platforms reduce the empty driving rate of vehicles and improve resource utilization efficiency by integrating idle vehicle resources in society. This model not only provides drivers with an additional source of income, but also provides passengers with more flexible travel options. On the other hand, with the acceleration of global urbanization, urban population density continues to increase, and traffic congestion problems are becoming increasingly serious. The traditional public transportation system can no longer fully meet the travel needs of citizens. As a supplementary travel method, online car-hailing can effectively alleviate urban traffic pressure. At the same time, modern consumers have higher and higher requirements for travel experience, and traditional taxi services have shortcomings in terms of service quality and price transparency. Online car-hailing platforms provide more convenient and transparent services through technical means, meeting consumers' demand for high-quality travel experience.

The future development trend of the online car-hailing market will focus on the expansion of autonomous driving technology and diversified services. Autonomous driving technology is considered an important direction for future transportation. With the maturity of autonomous driving technology, online car-hailing platforms are expected to significantly reduce operating costs and improve service efficiency by introducing autonomous driving vehicles. Uber, Didi and other platforms have made large investments in the field of autonomous driving, and autonomous driving online car-hailing is expected to become the mainstream of the market in the future. In order to improve user stickiness and profitability, online car-hailing platforms are expanding to diversified services. For example, Didi Chuxing has launched shared bicycles, food delivery and other services, and Uber has also entered the fields of freight and food delivery. By providing diversified services, the platform can better meet the diverse needs of users and enhance market competitiveness.
