Uber makes getting around easier than ever, but anyone who regularly hails a ride using
the app has almost certainly noticed one flaw: the estimated arrival times are almost always wrong. Usually it goes like this: the app claims there's an available car just two minutes away, but then once you actually request one, that arrival time suddenly jumps to double or triple the original estimate. What gives, Uber? Why you gotta lie like that?
Well, CEO Travis Kalanick took to Twitter over the weekend to address the issue and explained that this fantastically first-world problem is simply unavoidable when you're the most popular car service on the block. https://www.thrillist.com/tech/nation/why-uber-wait-times-are-always-wrong/tech
