When Uber began in 2009, the company assumed the position of leading the first wave of mobility services into the gig economy, and in many ways has come to define it.
But as the gig economy has evolved, it has expanded into a nebulous entity that has outgrown a simple example. Uber, for instance, has established partnerships with carshare companies like Getaround and Zipcar to allow people without cars to access these platforms in order to become Uber drivers.
