have u guys experienced where the rider calls to inform he's running late and ask u to 'Start Trip' first?
i'm just curious, if in that situation, would it be better to hit start trip or let the wait time charges run?
there was once i was told to start trip while he 'finishing my drink' which took 20-25mins

why the rider didn't book the car when he is ready? I would cancel the trip after 5 minutes and let him bear the cancellation fees.

I doubt start the trip early will overwrite the ublur famous upfront fare, i.e. Still the same the fare paid by rider.

Also, if start trip already the rider no shown? Cannot cancel how? End the trip and possible 1 star rating from rider?

Rider simply give low rating also need to give explanation. If they complain about fare, that won't affect driver's DR. If rider pandai, they complain other things about you.

Like what bcombat said, it is to encourage riders to be punctual and don't simply cancel and make sure they put the right location. Not useless.

As usual, Grab thread full of drivers complaining CR CR CR.... Sked banned....

Why so fast and furious?


U/G drivers so colorful...

That day I saw on Fesbuk one guy said he got 5 outstanding samans, total RM1,500. Like that still worth it to do U/G ka?

Actually, that should be the way. Just like taxis, they start their meter once they reach (if you book them through phone/apps).

But the problem with Uber.. Once you hit Start Trip, you cannot cancel if rider no show.

But I heard that there is a way to cancel after swiping Start Trip, but I haven't try yet.


If rider ask to Start Trip first and you are confident he/she will show up, then I think it's ok gua...

I also got one rider before, she enter my car already so I swipe Start Trip, but then she ask me to wait for her friend. Like 10-15 minutes like that. Later on the fare was higher than the upfront fare. But she was okay with it. When her friend ask why the fare higher? She explain that probably because of the waiting time.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ada jalan less than 500 can settle la...

True..

But I just cannot brain, do U/G and kena a lot of saman then cannot settle it, until 5 outstanding samans.

In general, he was very optimistic about self-driving cars and spoke of a day where the average ride will be about $1 per mile, down from roughly $2.50 per mile. It’s “the only way to get the cost down,” he said of driverless transportation.

Brace yourself jobless drivers

Aiyo...not within 1-2 years...maybe looking at horizon of 5-10 years from now, that was also ambitious view. Need to get approval from authority

few years back, those taxi drivers was thinking the same

who wanna take private car?
surely the SPAD cannot approve
where got license
the gomen depend on our vote
we provide essential service

where are they now?

the march of technology spares no one, embrace it or get obsolete

Level-5, full autonomous, it is ready, how fast to reach our shores? just ask those taxi drivers

question will be how many countries already approved self-driving car on the road? All I read is all still in testing mode, non really approved on public road yet.

Once government approved, then, I would say very soon. But, before that, another hurdle, get pass Proton and Perodua protectionism policy first

Already approved in US. China won't be far behind, rest of the world will just follow, as they always do

Proton? non issue, already sold to Geely

It also depends how tech company roll out the model

The fastest would be to license it, Waymo, provide software, the rest of players go whack it out among themselves

note: the chinese are trying to catch up on autonomous driving, the government just given the green light for open road testing, you can only assured of 1 thing, "China Speed"

Interesting.....wonder if those self driving car is additional add-on to those existing car brand in market or totally new car company

So anybody won the RM8,888 Uber Prosperity Sweepstakes yet?
