Just from personal anecdotal experience I can point a couple of legitimate cases:
1) Calling an Uber for someone else.
2) When traveling abroad with no data plan, I'd use hotel WiFi to call up a vehicle, but then lose the connectivity as soon as I got in the vehicle. Unlike the experience described in the article, the quote provided at the dispatch time was fixed, not an estimate, so overcharging was never an issue.
- raverbashing 8y agoYes, but 1) driver and requester would become distant at the start of the ride, not at the end 2) disconnections are different from detecting a distance and you would usually get a connection (some time) after you left the vehicle. Maybe the user could have a "terminate ride now" button (which is subject to abuses as well, but might be a better user experience)
