In the last ten years of Uber’s existence the company has become a household name.

Their fairly large number of scandals has not forfeited their industry leading position to Lyft, nor has it negatively affected their financial benefits. Uber’s radical disruptive innovation provided them with a clear sustainable advantage, …
