This seems strongly to me like a broken window argument. Taken another way, you're paying people that could likely be doing more productive things to sit in a car and burn gasoline.

If money draining out of the economy is a major concern, there could just be a tax on AI rideshares (which given the political environment seems quite likely)

Generally, yes. But implementing UBI by wasting people's time is a bad idea.
