Uber has had this feature since I started driving with them in December 2016.

You can only use it twice a day, however.

Ostensibly this is for use at the beginning & end of your shift to help with the “commute”. But you’ll probably be find yourself out in the sticks with a choice of waiting long periods for each local ride request (~$2-$3 keep per ride), or using the destination geofence in the middle of the shift to avoid double-digits is deadheading.

It's also great for literally carpooling on your real-job commute. You'll be online at peak times and with the destination set in the most popular directions.
