Apprising Uber drivers of blindness in advance of pick-up

2021-02-26 Thread Michael Busboom
Hi. I use Uber quite frequently, mostly through the BlindSquare app. Since I live in a metropolitan area, there are frequently instances where lots of cars go by, and the driver, not knowing that I can’t see him/her, just sits there, waiting for a passenger to get in to the car. Is there a w

The following may seem pedantic, but if you don't get it right, it won't work: Please people, it's BACKSDPACE, not DELETE. They are not the same key, and you can mash the DELETE key until you're blue in the face but it won't work. BACKSPACE is located on the QWERTY part of a keyboard, while DEL

Hi, Mike: I asked the CTO of Uber to add a feature to our Uber profiles that would notify drivers after they accepted the ride request. I made this request during a W3C Workshop that Uber hosted back in September 2019. Obviously, it didn't get done, but I think it's still the best solution, if we

On a Mac, and all Apple keyboards, the key that performs the “backspace” function, is labeled as Delete. It has been labeled this way going all the way back to the very first Apple I computer. If you don’t believe me, get a sighted person to look at it for you. - Brad - On Feb 26, 2021, at 07

Mike, I always let them know when the ride is booked via messaging. That being said I use the native app, never used the one for BlindSquare. Does that affiliation allow you to message drivers? I keep my messages very simple. I am blind and use a white cane. Or Look for man with white cane. Ho

There is no “best” way to deal with this issue. That said, using the Uber app is always the better option. Messaging the driver is hit or miss because many drivers never look for messages, and some put the minimum effort into customer service or just don’t get it. I’ve had drivers tell me it was

Which seems to underscore why as Janina pointed out Uber must establish a baseline level of customer expectation for their service. something included in the request process that, if driver ignores, clearly indicates the driver is at fault here. Speaking personally, as someone's whose first expe

Very hard to tell without experiencing it. Often though, when something like this is happening, there is a secure window that will want your authorization. Bring up an application list and see if there is a system event or similar application listed. If so try each window under that. Perhaps you

On my keyboard, at least, the delete key by itself performs the backspace function. FN-Delete deletes deletes the character at the cursor’s position. To be clear, it is the delete key as Brad indicates below. From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com on behalf of Brad Snyder Date: Friday, February 26,
