Why Uber paid $617 million for a place to park

Autocab puts Uber inside the local taxi office
The Manchester software company helps independent fleets book, dispatch and bill their journeys. Its owner, Uber, can also send them passengers - a useful arrangement with an awkward history.
Moove
Moove is an African-born global mobility fintech that finances vehicles for gig-economy drivers who are shut out of traditional bank lending. Using alternative, revenue-based credit scoring built on ride-hailing and delivery earnings, Moove lets drivers on platforms like Uber lease brand-new cars and pay them off through a share of their weekly income - a 'drive it, own it' model. Founded in Lagos in 2020 by Ladi Delano and Jide Odunsi, it now operates one of the world's largest managed ride-hail fleets and has become Waymo's autonomous-fleet operations partner across major US and UK cities.
