Today I explored an Uber ride-request status component with one question:
When the driver is still completing another trip, does the interface clearly explain what is happening and when the rider should expect them to arrive?
When you’re waiting for a ride, what matters most to you: what the driver is doing, the ETA, or where they are on the map?

Exploration wins easily. Saying "is on the way" when they’re dropping someone else off just confuses riders. Clearer copy kills the anxiety.

Thanks, that was exactly the point I was exploring. “On the way” can sound like the driver is already heading directly to you, so I wanted the current state and ETA to be more explicit. Glad that came through.
