Twilio should be offering Uber a price which is just below the minimum it would take for Uber to build it themselves.
Also, Uber management should be focused on other things which are much more important for the future of the company, like the user experience, or self-driving cars, or machine-learning algorithms to predict future traffic.
Uber should not be focused on pushing down costs because the opportunity cost of losing focus is huge. It reminds me of this epic rant from Bill Gates:

It's a funny story, but while Bill was focused details about a minor product he was missing the opportunity to develop a search engine like Google, or mobile devices like Apple.
