Will a scheduled Uber definitely come?

Sometimes a driver may not be in the area and the ride would just get cancelled and Uber would send you a notification that no driver responded to the ride. All Uber does for a scheduled ride is try and time it right with a nearby driver to pick you up close to the time you put in the app. There are no guarantees.
