Yeah, the whole "order an Uber/Lyft, but they don't move for 5 minutes" phenomenon. Had this happen for a trip from MTV to SF, I guess they sit at home and wait for a ride?

Uber and Lyft MUST be hurting in SF.

Personally have switched to Waymo, most people I know have switched to Waymo. Find that it's induced a lot of personal demand. I'd rather wait a little longer and have a safe, comfortable ride, than drive in SF myself, circle around trying to find parking, and then be worried about my window being smashed, etc.

I assumed they could accept the next ride while close to dropping someone off, but the app limits their location while they drive the last bit to another customers house for privacy.
