Taxi "Maxim" did not notice the problem

Prospects for passengers
Leonid Delitsyn reports that drivers come up with many tricks to outwit the strict measures of aggregation systems and earn a little money. "As for passengers, they will, of course, face a longer struggle with the market, where monopolies are formed by themselves. Let's imagine what will happen in 10 years: who will compete with Yandex Go when robots become drivers? Probably, other large holdings will own taxi fleets with large fleets of robotic cars. On the one hand, they will use the "power of the seller" to "educate" passengers, on the other hand, passenger assistants based on artificial intelligence (AI) will, like personal lawyers, guess in advance the intention to ride, choose a fare, make an order, etc. In the end, taxis will probably begin to azerbaijan whatsapp number database resemble airlines, only on a different time scale. For example, in China, cities are already being built for unmanned transport. Therefore, all the improvements taken will be in effect for a short time and will quickly be replaced by new ones," said Leonid Delitsyn.
The analyst believes that it is impossible to immediately understand whether the new measure will restrain the growth of tariffs. "If the result of the cancellation is only a small percentage of orders, then this will not affect the overall indicator," Leonid Delitsyn noted.
Natalia Lozinskaya noted that she had not seen such a good idea in similar taxi companies. "Other market players may take it up," she believes.
A representative of the press service of taxi "Maxim" told a ComNews journalist that cases when a user cancels a trip after a taxi has been assigned are rare. "And as a rule, in such situations the passenger has a reason: they are not satisfied with the long pick-up time if the driver is coming from far away; they did not like the model or brand of the car; their plans have changed and they no longer need a taxi," he added.
For Maxim, the problem with empty orders is not so urgent. "Even during rush hours, the cost of trips does not increase critically in the service. Cancelled orders affect this indicator insignificantly," said a representative of the press service and noted that in Maxim, the user can independently change the parameters of an existing order without canceling it and making it more attractive for drivers.
Possible risks and errors of the new algorithm
Anton Vorobyov explains that the probability of an error when using the service is individual for each user and strongly depends on their actions in the service. "For example, at the moment I have no cancellations in the last hundred calls. This means a near-zero initial risk. For other users, the starting positions may not be so attractive," said Anton Vorobyov and noted that drivers themselves often provoke call cancellations due to problems with geolocation or service availability.
Dmitry Laskov believes that possible algorithm errors will not be widespread even at the initial stage, while the technology is only being tested and learned. "The task, the solution of which Yandex Go has included in the new algorithm, is quite simple in itself, and the probability of its incorrect solution is minimal. But it is worth considering that the new tool will work in close conjunction with others, already actively used by Yandex Go, so small rough spots are quite possible at the junction, but they are unlikely to be critical," Dmitry Laskov believes.
