Uber could face legal action over allegations it used an internal software programme to secretly track drivers from rival firm Lyft. The report is yet another stain on Uber’s reputation, which has already been sullied by founder and CEO Travis Kalanick’s bratty behavior, many incidents of sexual harassment and discrimination and an ongoing court battle with Alphabet-owned Waymo over Uber’s alleged theft of intellectual property. The ride-hailing company has been accused of using a secret program called Greyball that allowed the US government access to its customers’ personal data. The news comes as the ride-hailing firm faces a legal battle with Alphabet, as well as numerous cases of sexual harassment and discrimination.
