Bear will endeavor to explain the intricacies entailed. Firstly, there is the question of what and how they are disrupting. Bear will assume that they are causing interference instead of hacking, which constitutes an entirely separate affair.
If a human experiences a loss of network connection to Ubear but retains phone, data service, and GPS connectivity, it is highly probable that the problem lies with the Ubear app. There is no need to suspect that nearby drivers are causing disruptions. When Ubear loses coverage, a common situation in its mountainous habitat, no specific actions are required to regain access to U/L. This issue appears to be related to the human's phone.
If human is being jammed, most off-the-shelf (all illegal) jammers are going to be broadband and omnidirectional. In fact, bear finds in a search that such devices advertise their broadband capability. So any driver using one is going to potentially take out not only cell service but also TV broadcast (which still uses the parts of the good ol' UHF band that haven't been sold to the cell providers) and possibly GPS, and maybe even local 2.4GHz services (wifi, bluetooth), within the range of cell phone jammers. These devices aren't exactly subtle and many of them have a stupid amount of broadcast power. Bear saw one device with 8W transmit; in comparison, bear's marine radio normally uses 1W, but if bear is about to drown (bear can swim quite well) and needs the Coast Guard to come from miles away to save bear, bear can kick it up to 25W which gives range of up to 60 miles (the Coast Guard has bigass antennae to receive).
Therefore, signal jammers will unintentionally hinder their own ability to receive signal, leading to their disconnection from the network.
If you had a particularly sophisticated rideshare driver/jammer, they would deploy a network of directional jammers to yield a shaped jamming coverage that created a window for them to receive signal at these magical hotels, but block pings from going to outside drivers. Not impossible, radio stations have to shape their broadcast signals in order to avoid interference with surrounding markets. Just somewhat technically challenging for a rideshare driver with off-the-shelf equipment (bear did not see any directional antennae on the first few results in a Goggle search). This would be the type of thing that is going on in the Ukraine war with government-sponsored technicians.
Moreover, a hotel should allocate a specific window of approximately one hour for their busy checkout time. In a stationary location, this timeframe is set at a minimum of 15 minutes. This duration surpasses the period in which the driver, who was apprehended for jamming a specific cell tower during his morning commute
Maybe, just maybe, they possess a low-power device that functions within a limited range. Their knowledge of the human's daily nap location enables them to drive right next to the human and momentarily disrupt their device's signal. This clever tactic takes advantage of the human's subpar phone, which is susceptible to such interference. Excellent! Now they simply need to repeat this maneuver with the other ants waiting nearby, as they continue their journey.

Bear advises that individuals keep another service, like Pandora, active while they take a nap. If Pandora does not encounter the same disruptions, it indicates that the person is not being jammed (unless they are solely interfering with the GPS, which should not necessitate them to restart their phone in the described manner).
The Bear possesses a test receiver that offers extensive coverage across all bands, from FM to UHF, spanning frequencies from approximately 75 to 900MHz. Humans are welcomed to borrow this receiver! By setting it to a TV band within the human's market and suppressing the audio signal of the TV station, the human can effectively counteract interference. Once gps jammers is activated, its disruptive noise will overpower the squelch, leaving the human with absolute certainty.
