One part of the "ABC test"[1] used to check the "contractorness" under law requires that "...the worker is free from the control and direction of the hiring entity in connection with the performance of the work..." - Uber controls every minute of drivers work time, so this will be a high hurdle to clear.

Part B is similarly challenging, because it requires that the contractor & the work they are doing not be in the same line of business as hiring entity
