Does it actually calculate the fare? I've used uber only a couple of times and it's just given me an estimate. Is this a different app, one for the taxi drivers?
"The controversy centres on an app provided to Uber's drivers - which is separate from the one used by the public - that calculates the journey distance and time taken, and then relays this information to remote computer servers to determine the fee."
Thanks, massive scan reading failure on my part there.
