> Having accepted a rider, the driver has no idea of the destination.

Only if you don't enter your destination in the app, which you can totally do.

This is not true, at least according to my limited experience in Prague. The driver will see the destination I put in only after he STARTS the ride, ie after I get in the car (as opposed to seeing it before or after he accepts the ride).
In the US, at least, entering the destination is optional.
Here too, but the driver doesnt see it either way.
Yep, every time I get in an Uber the driver already knows where I'm going - although they apparently don't know until after they've accepted the ride.
