This is made worse by drivers accepting rides when they're headed away from you on a 1-way road (which are everywhere in NYC). I've spent more time waiting for them to turn around and finally pick me up then it took to get to the actual destination. The app should disallow acceptance if the driver is pointed away from the requesting passenger.

Ugh, I live next to a freeway in Seattle and see drivers accept while driving 60 miles an hour past me. It is infuriating - the "nearest driver" algorithm absolutely needs to be based on a real-time routing system and not something so inaccurate as distance.

I've been on one side of Lake Union and had drivers on the other side try to pick me up. Sorry, no, that's just not gonna happen in a reasonable amount of time.
