Which they do as read on another thread - 18$ for a 45min ride in SF, the driver gets $50.

It's still worth considering that the passenger risks having to share the car, so the lower price is most certainly justified.

I doubt Uber is trying to run those cars with only one passenger at a time.

even with a full car they're still losing a lot of $.

I don't know what's the definition of "full" here, but I'd guess they leave the middle back seat empty. 3*18 is still 54 so there's clearly some profit to be made.
