&gt;<i>The Uber driver have absolutely no way of building a business or expanding it. No way of making more money. No way of hiring people. No control over which car to use and so on.</i><p>They have strictly as much or more opportunity to do all of these things than if Uber didn&#x27;t exist. Driving for Uber doesn&#x27;t stop you from doing other drive-for-hire work. And because Uber exists, they can at least make some money when they aren&#x27;t getting any customers of their own.
