This is an excellent point. 95% idle rate of vehicle fleet is a huge opportunity frontier for businesses. Whoever figures out how to capitalize most on this is going to win big. I don't think it's an accident that Uber has been experimenting with hauling other kinds of things in its cars.
I think it's possible we may see a time when most vehicles stay in the network, and rarely need to sit idle. That would be ideal certainly!
