It is a technique commonly used in gaming, StarCraft for example. It is called “send a drone” or “send a probe”.

But do drivers earn points for taking these side missions? Like if you accept multiple probing missions, do you earn a badge that the algo uses to find drivers known to be willing to accept these new assignments which should increase the likelihood of the missing being accepted?

It’s like in StartCraft, no? Do drones earn points ;) ?
