Ex-Uber employee here. Ethics and values were roughly 80% of the reason why I chose to walk away from what was ostensibly my dream job after only a few months.
Being clear, my experience never saw misuse of customer info, just some legal but shady-as-shit ways they chose to do business.
EDIT: Sorry, my point being that, while I don't anticipate they'll abuse customer location tracking in the large, I would vehemently dispute the parent poster's supposition that everyone at Uber is super ethical. Rank and file engineer? Yeah, probably fine. Management? I expect TK and his lieutenant bros and bro-ettes will do whatever he can get away with.
