Asked at Palantir · System Design for ML · Difficulty: Medium · Last asked Nov 5, 2026

You are given a dataset of historical taxi trips. Each row is one completed trip with fields such as the fare, the pickup and dropoff locations, the pickup and dropoff times, and the trip distance. Propose and design a product that helps taxi drivers using this data, and that a small team could ship within one week. Decide who the user is, what problem you solve for them first, how you would build it, and how you would know it worked.
