They went out of their way to avoid regulation and after, ran over a person in a bike lane.
I was referring more towards their negligent design than self-driving cars themselves, but if we're going off of that:
In 2015 there were 5,376 pedestrian deaths by a vehicle. There were, at the time, an estimated 263.6 million vehicles registered.
There has been a death so far this year off of a self-driving vehicle, and there are how many on the road at the moment? If you're going by deaths-per-vehicle, autonomous is losing.
I don't dislike all autonomous vehicles, but Uber is showing a lack of care for all but basic safety measures, that seemingly all of their competitors have gotten down thusfar, and alongside of that they're avoiding regulation quite heavily.
