Uber's New Code of Conduct Says Rides Tracked by GPS, Which May Assist Authorities

Uber released a new code of conduct that included the creation of a safety advisory board, a company blog post said Wednesday. Uber rides are “tracked by GPS,” which allows it to “provide law enforcement with very specific details about trip activity for their investigations,” it said. That partnership also extends to the tracking of contagious diseases like Ebola, it said. Uber is also rolling out an SOS button for international users to contact law enforcement, it said.
