The statistics, based on https://www.marketwatch.com/story/this-is-how-much-uber-drivers-really-make-2018-05-15 https://www.marketwatch.com/story/this-is-how-much-uber-driv... > Uber drivers typically collect $24.77 per hour > From that, Uber takes $8.33 in commissions and fees > Vehicle expenses like gas and maintenance cost drivers about $4.87 per hour > That leaves drivers with $11.77 per hour Now, the maintenance and amortization will be higher for autonomous vehicles. Somebody will need to clean these vehicles, scrape the ice off, refuel, monitor them, deal with anomalies and false alarms, etc - all of which is now taken care of by the driver. Autonomous vehicles will likely end up being cheaper, but it's not as clear cut.
