Using the Uber app, select UberPool. Pool is an option that will delay your departure some set amount (I believe up to 2 minutes) in an attempt to match you up with another rider (car pool).
I've used UberPool twice. Once from my house to the airport and was not matched/carpooled, but still got the Pool price. A second time, from the airport to my house there was another rider.
Both times, the driver was safe/responsible and the car was a newer model and in good shape. I believe there's a way to rate your service, so bad drivers will be weeded out of the program.
