Making new uber app

Hi guys hope you are well. It’s my first time on the forum and I Justin wanted to ask a few questions that could maybe help me out.
I’m designing a app similar to Uber to replace the one that’s currently dominating in my country(Not Uber). But there’s been a lot of Assault as well as sexual assault issues pending with this specific App and I think it’s time they are replaced as they do not do anything to resolve these issues.

What I’m struggling with at this very moment is finding a way to connect the Rider and Driver users. How do I notify the closest drivers when a request has been made and give them an option to accept the request or simply let it time out in 10 seconds if they choose to not accept the request??

hi @pressuredagee2 did you find a way to do this? im having the same issue at the moment with the app im trying to create.
