Some sensitivity type training. And i was going to ask you the question of whether uber, like would drive from San Francisco to san jose or Something Like that and actually give you the price ahead of time, right . Yes. You can see the price before you request the car. So if you are dependent on knowing that number before your decision you can have that information right there. As well as the distance of the trip. The drivers are very clearly instructed that they are to accept whatever trip is requested by the driver. We have some that are very long from time to time and thats something that comes with the gig. But we are also happy that we have the accountability to show in the data if a rider requests a ride and a driver arrives at that location and then cancels the trip for any reason, thats alerted
