Uber Technologies, Inc. is an American mobility and delivery company headquartered in San Francisco, founded in 2009 by Garrett Camp and Travis Kalanick. Its ride-hailing and food-delivery (Uber Eats) apps connect passengers and diners with independent drivers and couriers across a large number of countries, and the company has also invested in autonomous-vehicle and freight logistics ventures. It became one of the most prominent companies of the gig economy, and its treatment of drivers as independent contractors has been the subject of extensive regulatory and legal dispute worldwide.
