Mapping is dysfunctional as you get closer to your rider. It lags behind real-time by as much as 20 seconds. This issue leads to inefficiency, delays, unhappy riders, and puts drivers in DANGEROUS situations. For example, Lyft's map failed to guide me into a parking lot. 10 seconds after driving past it, I was directed to immediately do a u-turn -- unfortunately, I was on a high-speed expressway at 50 MPH. Turning left at that point would have meant jumping a curb, + several traffic violations.

Awful compared to uber. Has better features but the maps are terrible. Wrong addresses, doesn't show closed roads, asks you to go down one ways. Truly horrible. After driving for 4 months with both apps, I can confirm that lyft is garbage. Completely useless in the Chicagoland area. Their " bonus hours" are a scam as they lower the base rate pay and the cancelation fee. Wait times and maps are a joke

The app is good whenever it is by itself. With Android Auto connected, it has major bugs. Whenever the screen changes from light to dark or whenever I go under a bridge where my lights turn on, the screen disappears. Also, you have to accept the rides and Go Online from the phone than from Android Auto in your car, which is a major safety issue. It really needs to be made easier from these aspects for safety and easier accessibility for the drivers.
