Re:Uber funds new lobbying group to deny rights for gig workers by crossroadsguy on Saturday March 12, 2022 @10:03PM (#30657486)
Hey Driver X,

You’ve a ride request from “Person Y”

Pickup is “M km” from your current location.

Estimated ride distance is “N km”

Projected/min/approx cost for ride is “$ D” for total “N+M km”.

Do you accept or reject? You’ll not be penalised for any choice!

How the hell is this difficult and relates to all the jargon gymnastics you’ve done in your comment, other than just to keep the driver in the dark and without any kind of choice or freedom!

It makes for a bad user experience for the rider. The customer wants to know that they can certainly get a ride, not get rejected because their destination isn't profitable.
