Of all the people they could have named the "cycles per second" unit after, they chose a guy named "Hertz", which is a homonym for the German word for heart, which it just so happens beats about once a second in humans. Coincidence?

That is two-way translated text chat between driver and customer in the app. At the same time the expectations around texting and driving were pretty different, so maybe voice chat or just “here’s what language I’m most fluent in” is better.
