Manipulating surge pricing is basically a strike, and it'd be very hard to pull off consistently when there's such a huge pool of drivers willing to work for the current rates.
I've actually created an app that maximizes hourly earnings for drivers, and I'm working on another. It's hard because the driver's TOS prohibits use of third-party apps to interact with the delivery company's servers. Just another way the definition of "independent contractor" is being stretched.
