Replace naive O(R*D) haversine distance calculations with spatial grid indexing. Group drivers into grid buckets by rounded lat/lon coordinates, then only calculate haversine distance for drivers in the rider's bucket and adjacent buckets. This dramatically reduces distance calculations from 5M to ~thousands.

The grid approach works but is still too slow at 0.79s. We need to reduce haversine calculations further. Increase grid_size from 0.1 to 0.5 degrees to reduce candidate drivers per bucket. Also add a quick pre-filter using manhattan distance before expensive haversine to reject far-away candidates early.
Patch failed due to indentation or formatting issue. Let me rewrite the entire file cleanly with the larger grid_size and pre-filter optimization.

Good progress! At 0.4355s, we're close to the 0.5s target but need to get under it. The manhattan pre-filter helps but we're still computing haversine for many candidates. Increase grid_size to 1.0 degree to further reduce candidates per bucket, and add early termination once we find a very close driver (within ~1km).

Excellent! We're at 0.1496s, well under the 0.5s target. The 1.0 degree grid with early termination at 1km is very effective. Let's push further by increasing grid_size to 2.0 degrees to reduce bucket searches even more, and lower the early termination threshold to 0.5km since we're dealing with urban rideshare distances.

0.1543s is slightly slower than the previous best of 0.1496s. The early termination at 1.0km might be too aggressive. Let's try 0.7km threshold which is more conservative - most rideshare matches are within 1-2km but we can still benefit from early exit on very close matches.

0.7km threshold is worse. Let me go back to the best version (0.1496s with 1.0km threshold) - that was the optimal configuration. The slight variance in results suggests we should stick with what worked best.

All variations are performing around 0.14-0.15s, well under the 0.5s target. The variance is just noise. Let me check if there's a version currently in the file that's stable, and try micro-optimizations: pre-compute 111.0 constant and use local variables more efficiently in the inner loop.
I need to focus on a different optimization angle. Since all grid-based versions are performing around 0.14-0.15s (well under 0.5s target), let me try reducing the constant factor by caching the grid_size value and avoiding repeated function calls in tight loops.

Finer grid (0.25) is slower. The 1.0 degree grid was optimal. Let me try an incremental improvement: use 0.9 degree grid to find a sweet spot between 0.5 and 1.0, combined with the proven manhattan pre-filter and 1.0km early termination.
