Because in a lot of cases, the driver isn’t in the correct place, and so if you have their location you can easily tell them how to get to you. I’ve had multiple deliveries where the Uber Eats app just could not tell the driver the correct location for my address, and I wouldn’t have been able to tell the driver how to get there by just them telling me where they were.

For that, I would propose a feature where I can mark the directions to my home from a well known checkpoint on a map, one time. If the rider deviates in the last mile, they get notification. If they continue to deviate, I get a notification. The solution is not for me not constantly monitor the rider's location.

As this thread is about over engineering solutions, I can't help but wonder if this is satire

So you work in logistics support, but you pay to do it?

Yes. I’m happy to do whatever makes the most sense in any given situation. I have never in my life thought to myself “I could easily help solve this problem and make everyone better off, but I will refuse because problem-solving is work and work is only for employees.”
