It still has that distinctive camera bar, so it just seems like the tech giant is showing us more of what we already know. If you are interested to learn more, Google is launching the Pixel 10 series on August 20.

Getting around in a big city like Toronto, Vancouver or Montreal can be overwhelming especially if you're a senior. Having aging parents myself, it's a growing concern to get them from A to B. I can see the days are numbered as they begin to dwindle down their ability, or desire, to drive. Uber has been on my mind in recent years and how it can be used to get my parents around comfortably without worrying about them driving. They've been apprehensive of using any apps for fear of being confused or disoriented and having to provide credit card information isn't something they've wanted to do. Today, Uber has officially launched the new Seniors Accounts across Canada that is designed to offer a simplified way to use the App. 

This is a new option designed to make getting around easier, more intuitive, and more accessible for older adults. Senior accounts are part of Uber’s Family Profiles feature, allowing loved ones to help set up an account and offer support when needed. And for older adults who prefer to ride independently, Uber is also introducing Simple mode, which offers the same streamlined experience—no Family Profile required.
