Stored source excerpt from the original article, without rewriting the publication's voice.
A person rushing to an important job interview is willing to pay up to VND 1 million for a short ride, but in reality, they only need to pay VND 50,000. The difference (VND 950,000) is the "consumption surplus." However, when the algorithm starts reading the person's web browsing history, seeing the phone's battery level, and knowing their personal work schedule, the price will be raised accordingly to match each individual's ability to pay, and the consumption surplus will disappear.
