i often get the feeling that uber is positioning itself to strike gold with business billing. uber should build a feature that enables companies by allowing employees to expense there uber rides and 'rush' deliveries.

There is alot of business in this space and they will get the app into high level employees phones

It would be the akin to a corporate 'amex' ... bill the company 'uber'

I agree. It seems that Uber could be for transportation what Seamless is for food (at least in midtown Manhattan). Currently, banks etc. either hire company car services to take employees home late at night or reimburse late-night taxi expenses post-hoc. It would be great to simply charge these late-night rides to the company Uber just as we order dinner on the company Seamless.
Uber had 'Uber perks' - http://blog.uber.com/2013/02/07/introducing-uber-perks-our-c... - but the link in that seems to be broken now, not sure if it still exists.
I don't think they need to do that. The people who would do this expensing probably already have a company credit card plugged into uber, and an assistant to handling the actual expensing process from an emailed receipt.
