Close, the sw design decisions involved, "Placate the boss:"
> A 2018 report from Business Insider's Julie Bort suggested a possible reason for these puzzling design decisions: the team was preparing to give a demo ride to Uber's recently hired CEO Dara Khosrowshahi. Engineers were asked to reduce the number of "bad experiences" experienced by riders.
Engineers violated ethical concerns, IMO, seemingly compromising safety systems at the perceived need to appease leadership.
Unethical behavior of sacrificing safety to appease a superior is why industries are regulated by government / citizen-representative agencies.
It is time to regulate Uber, apparently, now.
