You’re underestimating the complexity of the problem.
Google Maps ETA’s are a simple problem compared to this because of the park and embark times & handoff variability.
- Parking is different at every restaurant, some days you may get lucky and find a spot, others you have to park far away and walk.
- A restaurant may be down staff on an given day and are late cooking the order.
- Customer may live in a high-rise or gated community that requires security identification before entering.
- Customer may not have a house number clearly visible making the house hard to find
The actual driving route/ traveling time is the easy part. It’s the other variables that make this incredibly complex.
