Google launches Uber competitor in Israel

This sounds like traditional carpooling, not like an "Uber competitor" (as the HN title claims).

From the article:

"RideWith will link up passengers who want to get to their workplaces with drivers making a similar trip. The number of trips drivers are able to make is limited to two a day, and only from their home neighborhoods to their workplaces. The passenger will pay the driver a nominal fare for the trip, as determined by the distance, and the service is built in such a way that drivers will not be able to transform it into a business, but will only receive compensation for the time and the gas they use to provide transportation for an additional passenger in their car."

The actual headline of the article is much more accurate:

"Google's Waze to launch worldwide carpooling pilot in Israel"
