Hello,
When my app says the driver has arrived, and he is not in front of me, I give him a call to find out where he is.
Hope this helps,

> Earlier this week I heard on the news that Uber is test piloting a new policy in four major U. S. Cities outside of California. Essentially, you've got two minutes to find the Uber car or  the driver can cancel the ride; leave and you get charged. This evening I received an email from Uber. Uber is instituting this same practice with Uber Pool in San Diego.

The national Federation of the blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want. Blindness is not what holds you back.
