I definitely wouldn't mind buying small items (gum, a can of diet coke) and magazines from my Uber drivers.
It brings to mind a video named "Prius Stealth Camper Build"[0], where the owner has a microwave and fridge powered by the car. Were an Uber driver able to fit all these amenities in their car and still have ample passenger space, it would almost be like a mobile 7-11 - get your breakfast during your ride to work.
I'd rather keep doing it that way.
People could just piggy-back their apps on the Uber/Lyft/Grab networks, but outside of them.
