Uber Increases Surge Pricing When Your Battery Is Low

This is an interesting article, but the guy actually says the exact opposite of the title listed here.

"And we absolutely don't use that to kind of like push you a higher surge price, but it's an interesting kind of psychological fact of human behavior."

He does say that people are more likely to pay the surge price when the battery is low on their phone.

In fact, the quote in the article says exactly the opposite.

OP did not read the article correctly. Untrue.

No it doesn't.
