I talked to an Uber employee once about a "Zoolander mode" project for drivers so that it only turns right and cannot turn left. The code was pretty simple if you've ever written a maze-solving algorithm. (Hint: What happens if you follow either side of wall for the entire maze?)

In theory, this would be useful for truck drivers or prioritizing passenger pickup locations.

But now, I use it as an example of overengineering and overoptimization.

In practice, the main concern should be reducing cognitive load on the driver. Additional instructions, rules that can be potentially broken, inconsistencies in logic, all of it poses a substantial risk.
