Yes but Uber would benefit from fleet pricing on purchasing and maintenance as well as the centralization of facilities (you could put the Uber fleet offices far away since the cars can drive themselves there for servicing).

Uber might have a compelling narrative here.

Facilities = more capital. Just the yard to park and service 9000 vehicles is a lot to buy and then there's the buildings: if each car needs service just once a year you'd need at least half a dozen service bays running full time.
