Another way to solve the same core problem, but approaching it from a different angle would be an ability to choose the Uber pick-up location using 3d or something like dropping the mascot in google street view or augmented reality view on top of the camera.
I have been in a few situations where 2d was not sufficient to specify the location. For example, multiple levels in the airport. Another example is bridge crossings, where one road is much higher than the other.
Another problem with 2d is that I always have to "orient" myself to verify the GPS is indeed working well. It would be easier with AR or street view.
