When you get into a taxi or go to a restaurant, there's some kind of hidden expectation to where you should tip your service staff. The receipt for a restaurant bill has a tip line and in a taxi ride when you swipe to pay it displays amounts you can tip. Although Uber and Lyft drivers don't live off tips, it's always appreciated due to providing a service for others to enjoy. With Lyft, you can at least tip in the app and with Uber, I sometimes get handed cash tips (there should be an option to be able to tip in the Uber app too, many have complained to me). We the drivers drive our butts off in order to get our passengers to their destination safely. I'd say managing someone's safety directly and providing an experience is tip worthy. You don't "have" to by any means, but it would make someone feel appreciated if you handed them a couple extra dollars and said "thank you". Something like that would keep me motivated, that's forsure!
