Uber using Colorado as testing ground for Amber Alert pilot program

Ride-sharing service Uber is piloting a program in Colorado to incorporate Amber Alerts into its technology to automatically alert drivers that a child abduction has occurred nearby.

The Denver Post reports that the initiative could be expanded to other markets if successful in Colorado, with the idea being that Uber drivers collectively cover thousands of miles per day and could add to the success of locating suspects or suspicious vehicles.
