00:21:35 ◼   ► going to be able to see the license plate when you book a car in North [TS]

00:21:39 ◼   ► Carolina there and only their the app shows you a picture of the car with the [TS]

00:21:44 ◼   ► color would you do it in London like it just shows you the license plate so [TS]

00:21:47 ◼   ► things vary from place to place blame where you can see the star rating before [TS]

00:21:50 ◼   ► you book and the way it works with you bernie is that you can cancel within [TS]

00:21:55 ◼   ► whatever it is like two minutes I don't do it often but every once in a while I [TS]

00:22:00 ◼   ► will look at the star rating before a driver comes and every once in a while [TS]

00:22:04 ◼   ► there's there's someone who is clearly about to get kicked off the system [TS]

00:22:07 ◼   ► it seems like there's a dynamic number but roughly speaking it's like if [TS]

00:22:15 ◼   ► who's like 3.9 that someone who's about to get fired and so I will actually [TS]

00:22:19 ◼   ► cancel that ride can I find out what my star rating since this is the thing that [TS]

00:22:24 ◼   ► I think goober should do for the benefits of human society because one of [TS]

00:22:31 ◼   ► the things I was first writing goober I like to ask the drivers is some of them [TS]

00:22:36 ◼   ► seem to work in different areas of the city or if they do different things like [TS]

00:22:40 ◼   ► what are your average customers like who are you driving around and some of them [TS]

00:22:44 ◼   ► seem to specialize in areas where there were lots of parents taking kids around [TS]

00:22:52 ◼   ► customer that you've ever had leaked tell me your nightmare story and boy to [TS]

00:22:56 ◼   ► the driver's left to tell you about the worst do they ever had in their car I [TS]

00:23:00 ◼   ► think that goober should make the drivers ratings of the user's visible to [TS]

00:23:08 ◼   ► the user because as it is right now there's no place for you to see what you [TS]

00:23:12 ◼   ► are rated if you ask the driver I've had drivers they'll tell me out of curiosity [TS]

00:23:17 ◼   ► what is my rating on his way now and they let you know what it is but it [TS]

00:23:21 ◼   ► doesn't show you I think that that would be providing a service to humanity if [TS]

00:23:29 ◼   ► they made the customers rating visible to the customer because we'll have the [TS]

00:23:34 ◼   ► things that I've heard from many of the drivers is that the worst customers are [TS]

00:23:38 ◼   ► business dudes guys who expect everything to go their way all the time [TS]

00:23:43 ◼   ► and feel like this is my rule of you know if you think everyone in life is an [TS]

00:23:48 ◼   ► asshole you're the asshole right it's not everybody else but I think there's [TS]

00:23:53 ◼   ► no feedback mechanism to let those people know that they indeed are the [TS]

00:23:57 ◼   ► jerks in the world and so I think if someone like takes a whole bunch of [TS]

00:24:00 ◼   ► arise and they see that the drivers are raiding them two stars all the time this [TS]

00:24:05 ◼   ► is like a feedback mechanism to let you know in a somewhat anonymous way how [TS]

00:24:11 ◼   ► other people do you your actions like I I think it's a possibility for people to [TS]

00:24:16 ◼   ► correct themselves how anonymous gray [TS]

00:24:19 ◼   ► because this is a problem with your thing that anonymity I've been talking [TS]

00:24:26 ◼   ► voting and that has and that is the one issue that comes up all the time as well [TS]

00:24:29 ◼   ► the importance of anonymity is something that comes up a lot and I think you're [TS]

00:24:35 ◼   ► what you're saying cause problems in that respect obviously you're not saying [TS]

00:24:39 ◼   ► that I can say the driver who just who just drove me what they are saying I [TS]

00:24:43 ◼   ► should be obviously my overall rating but surely I can I can reverse engineer [TS]

00:24:47 ◼   ► from that kinda so with the drivers they get a report at the end of the week [TS]

00:24:51 ◼   ► about how their star rating moved and they get a like a random selection of [TS]

00:24:56 ◼   ► the comments that people have left so they don't get to see everything and [TS]

00:24:59 ◼   ► it's all bunched together right that he recuse your rating for the week [TS]

00:25:03 ◼   ► my feeling is for the customers because the customers obviously are doing way [TS]

00:25:07 ◼   ► fewer who rides then the drivers are I think it's easy enough to build into the [TS]

00:25:12 ◼   ► system to say something like you are going to get a report and email to you [TS]

00:25:17 ◼   ► that says your star rating but do it only after every 30 rides and those [TS]

00:25:25 ◼   ► rides have to have had a certain number of different drivers in them [TS]

00:25:29 ◼   ► rights if you took 30 drop rides and it happens to be the same three guys [TS]

00:25:32 ◼   ► because you're in a little area like it won't auto send you the report until you [TS]

00:25:37 ◼   ► say have like at least at least a pool enough different people that you [TS]

00:25:42 ◼   ► couldn't reverse engineer it so I think there's a really simple solution to that [TS]

00:25:45 ◼   ► just at the customers get it much much less frequently than the drivers do [TS]

00:25:48 ◼   ► that's what I would do this is the same CGP grey hoodie a few minutes ago it was [TS]

00:25:53 ◼   ► telling us that he doesn't overthink things he's already come up with the [TS]

00:25:56 ◼   ► feedback mechanism for passengers everyone is going to want me to ask you [TS]

00:25:59 ◼   ► so I have to ask you what has your rating then when you've asked them [TS]

00:26:03 ◼   ► actually just had a guy tell me two days ago that my reading is four point nine [TS]

00:26:08 ◼   ► this means this means somewhere someone didn't give me a five star rating and I [TS]

00:26:13 ◼   ► would love to know why I would love to know what was it like I'm very curious [TS]

00:26:18 ◼   ► but I i think that knowing that the drivers radio it encourages both parties [TS]

00:26:24 ◼   ► to be on best behavior so I feel like I never wanna make the drivers wait you [TS]

00:26:29 ◼   ► know I want to be a nice simple passenger I I think it's I think this is [TS]
