Seems plausible, slimy, but also allegedly debunked and not a controlled test (at least show two phones w/different battery levels side-by-side with the same ride). I find a LOT more concerning the allegations regarding racism and charging blacks more -- and down that chain there is a pic of two phones side-by-side with one black and one white hand, and prices of $57.80 vs $32.58 for the same ride [1], along with other mentions of the same phenomena in the thread. Another one [2] showed $48.91 vs $33.67, but only screenshots. Obviously it is possible that this is somehow manipulated, but, this kind of "personalization" is definitely possible. What is almost more surprising is that Uber evidently doesn't detect these tests and ensure that two quotes to the same destination from the same location at the same minute aren't shown the same price. If they want to "personalize" according to race, battery level, or whatever, you'd think they'd at least be as good as VW at avoiding scrutiny (after all, Uber is supposedly a 'tech' company, vs VW being merely a car company).
