Employing QUIC Protocol to Optimize Uber’s App Performance

This kind of latency improvement only matters if they are planning to do auto-pilot from the cloud? (that would be crazy, especially if they don't have a fallback)

Does it necessarily imply that, though? applications that are snappy and responsive tend to improve users' impression of the app and probably (it is/was true for browsers when I worked in this realm, I have no reason to doubt that it's true for mobile today) improve user engagement.

I think the prevailing wisdom is that engagement suffers more from latency on mobile.

Try requesting an Uber in Latam on a low end android device. You’ll revise this opinion quickly.

that has nothing to do with latency... latency is usually less then 1 second... no matter which phone you are using.
