Uber CEO compares Uber to Saudi Arabia: Khashoggi murder a mistake like mistakes they've made with self driving cars, says neither are unforgivable

Honestly, I'd be less pissed if they were this honest. Same with any company high on Chinese money, blocking or banning people pointing out the situation in Hong Kong. Just say you don't want to offend the Chinese comrades, and therefore will enforce their values.
Wouldn't mean I'd like any of these scumbags any better, but their lies and bullshit replies are just insulting at this point. Who are they even trying to convince here? Like, who will listen to a CEO casually comparing his company's mistakes to literal murder, and go "yeah, he's got a good point there"?
Come on people give the man a break!
I mean seriously, who amongst hasn't led a journalist to an embassy where you have diplomatic immunity, suffocated him with a bag over his head and then had his body dismembered with a bone saw by mistake? Boy, I can't count the number of times that's happened to me!

Gee golly, I hate those common everyday accidents we all make, like getting a little piss on the toilet rim, or forgetting an ingredient in the cookie dough, or dismembering a journalist with a bonesaw.
I enter this situation 100% ready to say of course there will be some accidents, there will never be a perfectly safe, fatality-free car, etc., but when your CEO is like "of course we kill people, just like murderers! Murderers whom I completely forgive for their unrepented and consequence-free murders!", I kind of think your company is no longer responsible enough to test electric toothbrushes so much as fucking cars.
Honestly? The only way to make that comparison is to inherently have zero respect, empathy or value for the lives of other people.
Deadly traffic accidents are tragic - but ultimately forgivable...you...know...like when you brutally murder someone for criticizing your family.
Yeah, to my understanding, a psychopath would've probably been aware of his abnormal stance here. It is quite sociopathic, though.
I've made mistakes too. Like that time I got my nephew Overwatch instead of Diablo. So I can also empathize with Saudi Arabia ordering a man to be cut into tiny little pieces. My nephew forgave me, so why can't the world just simply forgive Saudi Arabia for their little mistake?
dara khosrowshahi @dkhosThere's no forgiving or forgetting what happened to Jamal Khashoggi & I was wrong to call it a "mistake." As I told @danprimack after our interview, I said something in the moment I don't believe. Our investors have long known my views here & I'm sorry I wasn't as clear on Axios https://twitter.com/danprimack/status/1193682837096030209 …

I don't understand why you'd ever use this analogy. This is all-time stupid gaffe from a guy who's usually pretty reasonable.
Wow did he just admit that the guy that the driverless car hit was targeted for murder because he was saying bad things about Uber?
What's actually happening here is Uber guy is trying to soften up Saudi Arabia's image, likely because they have some pending or approved deal. Sickening

Cool. Just took my last Uber ride yesterday, then. I hope Lyft enjoys a steady influx of business.
