Since thats exactly how people used to order minicabs I'm wondering what
exactly is the killer selling point of Uber. Other than it means Aspergers
types don't actually have to talk to a person and get all stressed.

Trying to talk to someone from inside a loud nightclub can be a
challenge, for one. But many people (and not just Asperger's
sufferers) prefer to press a few buttons on an app than faff about
making a telephone call. Additionally, credit card payment is a
benefit - I pay for most things by card these days, why not a taxi?
It's a relatively high value transaction. I wouldn't pay a £10+ train
fare in cash. Indeed, I never pay *any* train fares in cash, always
credit card.
