The CEO of ride-sharing company Uber Dara Khosrowshahi, has compared the death of Saudi Arabian journalist Jamal Khashoggi to ‘mistakes’ made with driverless cars.
In an interview on US television, Mr Khosrowshahi said the Saudi government made a mistake by killing Mr Khashoggi, like they had in developing self-driving cars.
Mr Khosrowshahi tried to take back his remarks, claiming he supported the Saudi government’s denial in the journalist’s death and said he was unaware of a CIA investigation that found evidence that high-level Saudi officials and royalty ordered the murder of Mr Khashoggi.
