1) Uber drivers are totally at liberty to set their own hours, and drive in location of their choice ( destination are chosen by Uber, but a worker is at liberty to drive in San Jose one day and San Francisco the next).
2) The drivers are outside of Uber's business. Uber is a software and technology company, not a taxi service.
3) Drivers are independent workers, in business for themselves.
4) Same as above.
With these criteria it unambiguously seems to be the case that ride share drivers are independent contractors. I struggle to see how one could make the case that they are employees.
