    What? Uber had algorithms to determine whether the person is drunk or not and surge the price for them back when I was working for them in 2019

      TBF the OP is not dated. Nevertheless, how does it work? Once they surge the price, one drunk guy will probably just accept it, mindlessly, while a more sober foe will probably tap FUCK NO, and try again. Maybe that’s the algorithm, the good old capitalist pig algorithm.

        In the region I am talking about all major taxi apps are doing this. Except one but it has a basically nonexistent reputation.
