I think it's purely for show, to get more attention and hype to increase valuations. At the current rates, the Uber human driver is just not very costly compared to what the costs would be if Uber had to finance and maintain a new SDC.

It's the same reason why they're in China, even though they reportedly spend $3 for every $1 of revenue and face a far better connected competitor.
