My understanding, based on other comments here, is that Uber recently changed its pricing model so that riders get a fixed price, but drivers still get a range based on distance and time. Obviously the rider's fixed price needs to have some cushion in it. It's a change, and recruiting material may need to be changed if it wasn't already, but it's hardly a scandal. Also, the % could remain the same if Uber is still paying that % in aggregate.
