- cbhl 11y agoI don't understand how you would optimize routing/matching algorithms if you didn't have a visualization of all the trips/cars in the city. As a entry-level engineer. Maybe it shouldn't have been tied to PII, but on the other hand there are some wins that you miss out on if you don't. (IIRC someone said that pairing women with women whenever possible increases overall rider engagement?)
