Are the algorithms to calculate the price different in different countries? I used to take uber frequently between two points and in the instances where the driver was obviously cheating (ignoring navigation, taking busy roads, wrong turns, roundabout ways) the price I was paying was always higher. Which tells me the algo must have been taking into account actual distance/time travelled.
- colejohnson66 6y agoMy experience seems to be that you're charged for distance traveled, time, or something related (I've taken the same start/end points a few times to see that longer routes tend to cost more). But this extension seems to imply Uber pays based on "as the crow flies". If that is what they do (charge for traveled, pay for straight line), that's absolutely despicable.
