Uber's Culture Problems Could Sink Its Self-Driving Car Future

Different people want different things from a relationship: unfailing kindness maybe, or someone tough, with a bit of an edge. Nobody, however, wants a partner who comes with lawsuits, a broken ethical compass, federal agents sniffing around the house, a work ethic that moves beyond crushing to something more sinister, and endless instability. As the ride-hailing outfit barrels into another week of horrifying headlines, with founder Travis Kalanick's CEO job in jeopardy, its short-term prospects appear bleak. The trouble has long-term implications, too. If Uber is to thrive in the future, Kalanick has said, it must master self-driving cars.
