Uber classifies its drivers as independent contractors.

SUPPORTED
the evidence backs this
Recorded sources
4 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Uber classifies its drivers as independent contractors?

Yes. A book on startup scandals states directly that Uber classifies its drivers as independent contractors, and a Wikipedia article on Uber says ridesharing companies classify drivers as independent contractors rather than employees. Other sources describe contractor classification for ride-hailing platforms generally or for Lyft.
