Part of the reason Uber, Inc is going to have a much more difficult time of making Uber Freight a success is that they are currently tied up in a lawsuit with a company called Waymo. Back in February Waymo released the following statement: "Recently, we uncovered evidence that Otto and Uber have taken and are using key parts of Waymo's self-driving technology. Today, we're taking legal action against Otto and its parent company Uber for misappropriating Waymo trade secrets and infringing our patents" (Team, W). This brings up the question of whether or not the people in charge at Uber, Inc are behaving ethically.

Discuss cutting edge companies that are skirting the law because there is no law yet. Many are mentioned in the Uber: when innovation outpaces the law. Try finding a new technology or industry (not mentioned in the article) that might be an ethical debate in the future. One example is jail breaking the Firestick.
