This becomes less clear in the wake of Uber's new feature enabling drivers to set their own prices in its Driver app. They basically introduced a bidding system that lets drivers increase fares up to 5x Uber’s set price. Uber matches the rider with the driver who has set the lowest price, and then the next highest price...gradually dispatching up to the highest price as more riders request rides.
