As Uber looks to mend its reputation with consumers, it is getting rid of a feature embedded in its app that allows it to track riders after they have left the ride. The company believed that by tracking users for five minutes after the trip ended, it ensured customer safety, but Sullivan noted that message was never made clear. In February, Susan Fowler, a former Uber engineer, wrote a lengthy blog post detailing her experience at the company, calling it a "very, very strange year." Khosrowshahi, who has a public-facing Twitter account, has been "liking" several tweets that mention him as the next Uber CEO. Jackdaw Research analyst Jan Dawson noted Khosrowshahi wasn't reported as being in the running to replace Kalanick, who still sits on Uber's board.
