Re:Uber’s Big Data Platform: 100+ Petabytes with Minute Latency by jandrewrogers on Wednesday October 17, 2018 @11:28PM (#18245688)
The data sizing heuristic for basic vehicle positioning telemetry is a GB per vehicle per year assuming a professional driver (e.g. taxi, trucking, etc). A petabyte is about a million vehicle-years of positioning data, which isn't that much.

Remember, Uber also stores application positioning telemetry as well, so it isn't just the number of vehicles.
