“Black car” started as an industry term for pre-arranged, chauffeur-driven rides in dark luxury vehicles, as opposed to taxis hailed on the street. Apps now borrow the name for premium ride tiers, but the details that define the service are the same: who drives, how it is booked, and what you ride in.
