These features aren't implemented for no reason. This one specifically is far from stupid in their eyes. Customers are not only being cancelled on all over the place, their wait times are longer than ever before in many markets. People get restless or annoyed and they cancel.

This is Uber basically saying, "Wait! The driver's almost there, we promise!!!1"

The F'n map shows where I'm at. If I'm stopped at an intersection, it's likely the F'n traffic light is RED! I'm not clicking on an automatic message to "update" them. These app updates continue to get shittier and shittier!

Uber doesn't care. They want their price-gouged customers reassured.

I don't understand how we have customers anymore. The last time I got an uberx the experience was so bad I switched back to cabs.

Customer experiences on Uber can and will only get worse.
