In the grand scheme of things it just isn't. 14 million rides a day, giving them a generous 1MB of data per ride, is "only" 14TB, 420TB/month. The data relevant to a ride for the clients like GPS location and ETA can fit into a few bytes...
A single video doorbell can use 200GB / month. With only 10,000 users that is 2 Petabytes of data traffic per month. Not to mention recordings that have to be stored and hosted for streaming later on.

Everything is relative (-;
