> If the vehicle is a fixed cost for the person regardless of whether or not they are a driver

What? Vehicles are clearly not fixed cost, they are assets that deprecate in value from use. There is some deprecation from age, but by far the determinant of value is miles driven and damage from use.

Every mile you drive for Uber is costing you money in lower resale value of your vehicle, both from the miles you add to it and from the probability of damaging the vehicle in an accident.
