How exactly is it 3x less costs? Uber drivers' margin is extremely low, it varies a bit between countries but after energy costs, maintenance/upkeep costs, vehicle acquisition cost and depreciation, etc. their take home pay is low. Pluck the driver out and you still have a car that needs maintenance and energy to run and savings are on the labour cost which Uber already pushed down as much as possible.
I don't see anywhere a way to get 3x less costs in this equation.
