Travis Kalanick's Uncertain Fate

Uber didn't immediately respond to The Atlantic's request for comment on Sunday. Uber has suffered several high-profile resignations and terminations in recent months. In May, Uber fired Anthony Levandowski, a star engineer and the central figure in a high-profile legal battle over self-driving cars. His termination was tied to a federal lawsuit in which Waymo--the self-driving car company that spun out of Google--is accusing Uber and Levandowski of stealing its design secrets. An Uber spokesperson told The Atlantic that Uber had been pressing Levandowski to help with its internal investigation of the matter for months, but that he did not meet a deadline set for him.
