> Eats for the way - your driver picks up a takeaway for you to eat while they drive you to your destination.

This seems like the kind of terrible idea that an LLM might have come up with. I'm pretty sure most drivers do not want people eating (especially a whole meal) in their car, and I can't imagine a lot of instances where you're calling an Uber and don't have time to get yourself food, but don't mind waiting an extra 10 minutes for the driver to detour, find parking, and wait for your food.

Not to mention what anyone who's worked in an office with a shared kitchen can tell you - the smell getting into a car where an indeterminate amount of people have eaten different meals. Like climbing into a food court dumpster.

Recently I got a car to take me to the train station and picked up food on the way. Seems pretty common to me. Of course, I didn't need or want it charged as a premium feature in the app.

I have never heard of someone doing that tbh, this is the first time.

You can get any Uber driver to do it for you if you offer to buy them food too and do it off the books.

You just do a ride with two stops, one at the restaurant, and ask them to wait. It's not remotely clandestine or complicated.

I didn't say I doubted it was possible lol, just that I had never heard of anyone doing it.
