And I can't care less about this change, when estimate was for £5-£7 but actual price was £8.80. Estimate never worked for me, only once in several trips in last 2 years actual price was in range of the estimates.
- austhrow743 7y agoThe change makes Uber work in California how it already worked in the UK. As in, the way youre complaining about.
- m_t 7y agoSurely by now they can upgrade their estimate algorithm, given how many trips they can analyse.
- wutbrodo 7y agoThis isn't how Uber, or indeed any competently-written service, works. I'd be beyond shocked if there was some hard-coded algorithm for estimating fares that they do one-off manual upgrades on. It's far more likely that they have a statistical method for doing so, that's constantly doing the equivalent of the "upgrade" you're describing. Such systems have nonzero error.
