That's true, I guess possibly they figured out that humans using their own vehicles turn out to be cheaper than contracting or owning self-driving vehicles.

Uber is regularly offering 50¢/mile trips now (which they charge significantly more than that to the rider for). There's no way an autonomous vehicle is going to get operating costs that low anytime soon.

  • Considering the IRS mileage rate is 72.5 cents per mile, sounds like there's no way any kind of vehicle is going to get operating costs that low!
