Wild. Uber isn’t telling people that their battery level impacts the price. So aren’t they the ones hiding information? Also a better offer for who? Uber obviously. This is a level of corporate apologism I can’t understand. If Uber is the only one to gain by using this information (and they are), this is purely a negative for consumers. Not sure why anyone would defend this practice and hand waving that people still have to accept the price is absurd. If Uber put up a line item on your transaction that said “Low battery fee” then fine. They’re not. They didn’t want people to know.

>Uber isn’t telling people that their battery level impacts the price. So aren’t they the ones hiding information? I would support them disclosing it, but the circumstances are not the same as one party is submitting information for a quote and another party is providing the quote. In this exchange, fraud on uber's side would be lying about what the quote is. >this is purely a negative for consumers That doesn't mean it is right. Shoplifting being illegal is pure a negative for consumers too.
