I dont think thats correct. I dont think you could optimize routes, meaningfully more, that would require, some kind of prediction, of upcomming drives. Its not impossible, but not something that will save heaps of money. And there will be downtime, because rides will follow some kind of pattern during the day. When people are at work, there will be way less demand, when people are going to work, there will be way more demand etc. right now thats kind of offset, by Uber not owning the cars, and not paying for idle drivers.
