The ride-hailing industry is in the hibernating phase due to the COVID-19 impact. Nothing much has happened in the recent past except the adverse economic   impact of COVID-19 on the ride-hailing industry . But even in such a phase,  Uber  managed to grab everyone’s attention with its latest acquisition of U.K based company –  Autocab  which is known for selling SaaS solutions to private hire and taxi companies.
