It's taken a few years, but the Google Assistant is catching up to other digital assistants to get you a ride. Instead of asking Alexa or Siri, you can now say, "Hey Google, book me an Uber." The voice assistant starting Thursday will book you a ride through the Google Assistant app on your phone or smart speaker or on any Google Home speakers. Once you ask for a ride with your preferred ride provider you can confirm the booking on your phone. Or you can just say you want a ride to a certain restaurant or location and a list of different services with pricing and wait times will come up.
