They'd be better off. The existence of Uber is what causes these other "better jobs" to disappear.

and the evidence for that is?

Is that the question to ask? Isn't the question to ask where is this headed, on a grander scale?

This.

And the answer, frankly, is that they'll all be out of jobs when Uber moves over to a fully autonomous fleet.

That's what people say about sweatshops too.

So none of these people can currently do better than driving for Uber?

No one is doing better than they are doing. If they can do better then they should do better weather or not Uber exists.
