    Queue all the knee-jerk conclusions based on this move. 

    More realistically, the guy was just ready for something different. 

    It was because of Dr. Dre and "what his music represents."

    drblank predicted this would happen. Katie Cotton was just the beginning. Even Woz left Apple because he knew Dr. Dre would join Apple 29 years later.

    The unknown is the canvas upon which we paint our biases and beliefs.

    It's not a reflection of truth, it's a reflection of us.

    Makes sense, my Uber drivers never know where they're going either. /rimshot

    That is a nice quote. Who said that?
    Anyways, I think it is more a case of projection than anything else.

    I made that up. An observation from the way people handle rumors/hearsay on these forums.

    That wont change whether the Blumenberg team works/worked on the Uber mapping app or not.....no driver will ever know all locations unless they have a blueprint map "on the brain"...but at least they can make it easier and safer (less distraction) to ensure real-time voice navigation works while GOING to the "drop-off" location selected by the customer/rider..........This is a flaw that needs to be fixed in the recent Uber app upgrade........from a SAFETY perspective, you would think something is being done about it by now since the Safety Commission has been riding on Uber's backside with all of the other regulatory bureaucracy!!!

     

    PS-most definitely should be an easy fix
