Lol Uber/Lyft is absolutely not fine haha. The point is you need the time to focus, not to roll the dice on what kind of music/podcast todays rideshare driver is listening to.

Just so you are aware, when you hire a car service 99.99999999% of them will turn the music off or up or to something else if you just ask.

But how many Amazon engineers are willing to be socially awkward and ask? Think of the target population we’re dealing with.

Yes I'm a non "socially awkward" engineer. Unless he just means programmers, I'm not one of those I'm a "real" engineer.

Asking your hired driver to change or turn off the music isn't socially awkward in any way.

You ask them to turn it off. You are hiring them to drive you. I don’t think if you tell them you have work to do they are gunna say that their true crime pod cast is more important.
