I’m not sure Uber is that subtle. They hired Levandowski of “I’m pissed we didn’t have the first death" fame(also carrying a bit fat trove of stolen IP to bolster their R&D efforts, which helped).
There isn’t an obvious business case for bonesawing a guy to death, so they are presumably not for it; but they were, at a minimum, more enthusiastic than average about the can’t-disrupt-an-omelette-without-breaking-a-few-irrelevant-poors dynamic than average. Normally one is supposed to deny it, or at least emulate non-actionable sadness at the concept; rather than revel in it.
