Uber under fire after CEO calls Saudi writer's gruesome killing 'a mistake'

Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi is being criticized for calling the murder of a Washington Post columnist "a mistake" and comparing it to the death of a pedestrian struck by one of the company's autonomous vehicles. Khosrowshahi later said he regretted his comments, made during an interview with Axios on HBO. Critics say Khosrowshahi is downplaying Khashoggi's grisly murder to placate one of the company's biggest investors.
