Uber is an app which allows consumers with smartphones to submit a trip request, which the software program then automatically sends to the Uber driver nearest to the consumer, alerting the driver to the location of the customer. What makes Uber unique is that the drivers use their own personal cars. As of August 2016, the service was available in over 66 countries and 545 cities worldwide.
