In the old days, getting a ride with a stranger meant standing by  the road and sticking your thumb out. Now you use a smartphone app.

Yes, we’re talking about the world’s biggest ride-sharing company. In a single decade, Uber has grown from an unlikely idea into a hundred-billion-dollar company that attracts investors, copycats, and passengers all over the world. 

Uber took the world by storm when it introduced a new business structure. Uber is a taxi company, but it doesn’t own any vehicles or employ any drivers. It distributes a free Uber app that connects to servers that match up drivers with passengers looking for a ride.
