Uber chief remains in driver's seat on road to change

San Francisco

UBER chief Travis Kalanick will remain in the driver's seat as the scandal-tainted on-demand ride service tries to plot a friendlier course with workers, riders and drivers.

Board member Arianna Huffington joined executives on Tuesday to update journalists on efforts to steady the wheel at the San Francisco-based firm, with help from a second in command to be brought on as a "partner" for Mr Kalanick.
