I mean miles driven is at least proportional to amount of useful work, more miles is more distance they've transported cargo. The AI usage leaderboard is useless.

    Only if you assume that all miles are correctly headed towards the destination. 2 drivers are given the same 3 places to deliver packages to.

    one drives 2000 miles, the other 50.

    Admitted though now that I actually think about it, I guess we already have that level of stupid assumptions. After all the normal system of pay for many jobs is by the hour. Which I suppose has all the same flaws.

    Yes! It does. I felt that I had to get out of hourly billing consultancy programming, because I code so fast I would have gone broke.
