Are you sure that Uber offers the ride to the closest (geographically) car? I've noticed that most of the time when I see close cars, they are not the ones that snag my ride, which can be frustrating when there are multiple cars 2 minutes away and the car that wins my business is 10+ minutes away (this has happened multiple times to me). The map doesn't seem like it understands one way streets, but it also doesn't seem to prioritize by geography either.

Uber will offer your ride to the closest driver, who then has 15 seconds to accept the ride, where it goes to the next closest.
