Surely they can see from the location data provided by yours and their phones, that you have diverged? The system should detect this automatically.

I thought the same, but people often order Ubers for each other, or share a ride where the payer party gets out first.

A more useful feature would be to make payments subject to a confirmation and don't allow the costumer to request a new ride until payment has been made (or disputed). You already have to leave review and (skip) tip after every ride anyway.
