That doesn't follow from the facts. Rideshare drivers get around 50% of the fare (though this seems to vary from 25%-75%). And many riders tip 10-20% of the total. Most of that cost goes away if a single operator is monitoring ~10 cars. The tip goes away entirely.
An average per-trip reduction of ~50% changes the economics entirely.
