Comment on If you shop by unit prices, double check the math!
intensely_human@lemm.ee 4 weeks agoI’ve been noticing bad math in the Uber driver app lately.
There have been a few times it tells me my ETA is 12 minutes but I’m 16 miles away. Like I know it doesn’t think I’m gonna be doing these residential streets at 90 mph

Afaik that’s deliberate to force the driver to get to the destination asap at all costs, but also to lie to the customer that their ride is just a few minutes away so there’s no need to cancel or look for alternatives.
