Google didn't mention its smart-fabric jacket platform, Jacquard, at its recent developer conference. But the Levi's Commuter smart jacket is getting an update that could be pretty helpful, starting next week, if you happen to own one.

With a button tap from its cuff, the jacket can now work with ride-sharing services Uber and Lyft. Unfortunately, it doesn't call an Uber or Lyft for you, but once a ride is dialed up the jacket will ping when the ride's there.
