If you ask to be picked up at MacArthur BART station in Oakland and you're not careful, your driver will get routed to pick you up in the middle of the freeway that happens to run overhead. Some locations are also GPS distorting due to tall buildings and you'll literally show up 1-2 blocks away from your location (long blocks in SF's case). GPS is great, but it's not perfect.
