My experience seems to be that you're charged for distance traveled, time, or something related (I've taken the same start/end points a few times to see that longer routes tend to cost more). But this extension seems to imply Uber pays based on "as the crow flies". If that is what they do (charge for traveled, pay for straight line), that's absolutely despicable.
