Dara Khosrowshahi, chief executive officer of Uber Technologies. Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi will be the first person to tell you why his company sucks.
What happened? Well, as predicted, Uber didn't want to spend the $9 Billion that Lyft was asking for. In 2014, Uber tried to acquire the app with no success. Then, in 2019, Uber was prepared to buy Lyft for $7 Billion, but the ship had sailed, and Lyft rejected the idea, and instead stayed a separate entity.
As of 2022, Uber has a 71% share of sales in the U.S. rideshare market, whereas Lyft only has 29%. However, both have seen significant sales increases since 2021. As of January 2022, Uber's sales are up 84%, and Lyft sales are up 62% year-over-year.
All in all, Uber drivers in 2022 were grossing about $1,040 on average per month, while Lyft drivers were grossing $787 per month. Now, that's not to say Uber drivers always make more than Lyft drivers for the same hours or miles driven.
The deal, which is expected to close in the third quarter of 2021, brings to an end Lyft's four-year journey toward developing and deploying its own self-driving cars. The company follows its rival Uber in off-loading its costly autonomous vehicle division in a bid to stop losing so much money.
Uber is owned majorly by a group of institutional investors like Morgan Stanley, The Vanguard Group, and FMR. Individual investors, especially employees of the companies — like the CEO and the COO — own a significant part of the company. The current CEO of Uber company is Dara Khosrowshahi.
