Abstract

An approach is disclosed for providing digital street hailing. The approach involves, for example, initiating an activation of a camera of a passenger device to present live imagery thereon. The approach also involves processing sensor data collected from sensor(s) of the passenger device to determine a pointing direction of the camera. The approach further involves identifying vehicle(s) in the live imagery based at least on the pointing direction. The approach further involves retrieving driver information of the vehicle(s) via a network. The approach further involves initiating a repreparation of the driver information on a user interface of the passenger device. The approach further involves, in response to a user selection of one of the vehicle(s) based on the repreparation, initiating a repreparation of additional information of the selected vehicle on the passenger device, and/or a transmission of a ride request to a device associated with the selected vehicle.
