What it shows

  • Dispatch searches match drivers while handling timeouts and rejections.
  • Pickup verifies physical arrival via geofencing before journey begins.
  • Trip completion unblocks receipt creation and driver rating flows.

The takeaway

Synchronized state machines prevent ghost bookings and coordinate multi-party events.
