The window.Uber variable has a lot of interesting information, like "isAdmin," data about the last vehicle I rode in (interior color, exterior color, model year, capacity), last driver's phone number, "activeExperiments" which I assume are multivariate tests being run against me, etc

What kind of details do you think go into this rating? My guess: how long driver waits for you to get in the car, how drunk and annoying you are, how much you tip (do they see this before rating?), how profitable your ride is. I suspect most drivers, like most passengers, give a 5.0 to almost everyone, but dock points for being a dick. It just seems there's no other way to differentiate passengers, since they'll be p…

Tip is included in the ride, you can't adjust it. This is not very scientific. I got 4.8 which means absolutely nothing to me.

It means nothing to you but remember that you're not supposed to see these - a 4.8 probably means something to the driver.

I've only had a few rides and ive 4.9 (ie someone didnt rate me 5.0). Meh.

Then again, I don't feel bad rating drivers because they sell me a service, I'm rating that (it wouldnt even have to include their name - it probably shouldn't. then again I'm european, we seem to have slightly different ethics).

I feel bad that they rate us because we don't provide them with anything.

That rating is going to be saved, sold and shared eventually.

I had one driver tell me "if you didn't vomit in my car or swear at me, you get a 5."

So if you check this after every ride, you'll know exactly what everyone rated you, right?

If you keep track of the total number of rides.

And you assume that there's no weighting or discarding of ratings that goes into the average.

You don't tip with Uber - 'gratuity' is already included. Regardless, the rate-the-customer screen is seen immediately after stopping the trip
