Abstract: Systems and methods for avoiding illegal stopping zones are provided. In example embodiments, a networked system identifies a destination of a driver providing a transportation service to a user. The networked system monitors a user device of the driver, and infers, based on the monitoring, that the driver is planning to stop in an illegal stopping zone located a predetermined distance to the destination. The inference is based on device data such as accelerometer data or location data that is triangulated with known or derived illegal stopping zones. In response, the networked system causes presentation of a notification on a user interface of the device of the driver. The notification provides an indication of the illegal stopping zone. In some embodiments, the notification also provides an alternative stopping location determined by the networked system.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing user control of alternate routes are provided. In example embodiments, a networked system receives a ride request from a user that indicates a drop-off location. The networked system identifies a current location of a user (e.g., a rider) and determines a plurality of routes from the current location of the user to a drop-off location. The plurality of routes is displayed on a user interface of a device of the user. In response, a selection of a route from the plurality of routes is received by the networked system. The networked system then causes presentation of a driving route corresponding to the selected route on a device of a driver and the device of the user.

Abstract: A system can receive input data from an application running on a computing device of a requesting user. The input data can correspond to a set of alphanumeric characters provided in a search box presented on a user interface of the application. In response to receiving the input data, the system can execute a federated search by providing search data corresponding to the set of alphanumeric characters to multiple search engines operated by the computing system, each search engine pertaining to a specific service option of multiple service options that are accessible via the application. The system can obtain and process search results from the multiple search engines based on the search data in accordance with a unification protocol to generate a unified search result. The system may then transmit data enabling the application to present a selectable user interface feature for each result of the unified search result.

Abstract: Systems and methods for reconciling a conflict between a rider-selected route and driving preferences of a driver are provided. In example embodiments, a networked system accesses driving preferences of the driver, wherein the driving preferences include preferences derived from past selection of routes by the driver. The networked system detects the conflict between characteristics of the rider-selected route and the driving preferences and determines one or more routes from a location of a vehicle of the driver to a destination based on the driving preferences. The network system reconciles the rider-selected route with the driving preferences by replacing at least one segment of the rider-selected route with at least one segment from the one or more routes to generate a reconciled route. The reconciled route is then displayed on a user interface of a device of the driver.
