The ride-hailing industry giant Uber Technologies Inc. experienced a noteworthy 2019. Not only did the San Francisco-based company file its initial public offering but also acquired another ride-hailing startup in a growing region and issued a safety transparency report that made all corporations rethink their consumers’ well-being.
