Uber

Uber Technologies, Inc., founded in 2009 by Garrett Camp and Travis Kalanick, has disrupted the transportation industry with its ride-hailing app that connects riders with drivers via a smartphone. The company revolutionized urban mobility, introducing a new era of convenience with features like cashless payments and real-time tracking. Uber’s influence extends beyond ride-sharing to include food delivery through Uber Eats, freight logistics, and even ventures into autonomous vehicle technology. Despite its rapid growth and global expansion, Uber has faced significant controversies including regulatory battles, labor disputes, and concerns over safety and driver treatment. Nevertheless, its impact on transportation and its continuous innovation in technology and services have established Uber as a leading force in the gig economy and mobility solutions.
