> Uber shows you where the drivers are before you request a ride

Uber doesn't actually show you where the drivers are before you request the ride. Those little animated icons just represent the density of available drivers, not actual car positions.

Doesn't matter. The animation solves the user problem, which is knowing whether pressing the button is going to result in a cab soon or not soon.

I've heard this many times on HN. Where is the source material for this?

(It just sounds really dishonest for the app to do this)

The TLDR of this article is that vehicle locations are out-of-date due to latency and no more than eight vehicles are shown at a time.
