Uber Technologies (NYSE: UBER) is undergoing a significant transition. The company popularized ride-sharing globally and is currently the leader in this industry. It is also a major player in the food delivery business.
However, the universality of its platform appears set to also make it a major player in the autonomous vehicle industry. That could have profound effects on what is now a self-driving car stock over the next five years, meaning the question may not be whether it outperforms the S&P 500 over that period, but by how much.
