As on the iPhone, the CarPlay version of the app allows Uber drivers to view a map with surge pricing areas, navigate with turn-by-turn directions, view and accept trips, add rides to their queue, view if their status is set to online or offline, and more.
Uber competitor Lyft also offers CarPlay support for its Driver app.

I would say "I wonder why this too so long", but Uber is very bad at app development.
Door Dash makes slightly more sense because it's expensive as hell. Every menu item costs 50%+ more than regular menu price, plus delivery fees etc. But still, hard to see how anyone except those at the very top are making any money at it, if even then.
They both probably get by with the same scam pizza places have pulled on delivery drivers for decades. The real cost is in wear and tear on the delivery car and driver, and the companies don’t really cover that cost. They just burn through teenagers to keep it going.
