Some reasons why Uber might want to fight this: - Agreeing that they are doing testing, would probably make it more difficult to move to "production" - when do these testing requirements end? - The California regulations are quite light, but other cities might come up with more complicated requirements. Agreeing in California would set a precedent and make it harder to avoid complying in other cities. - There's requirements for the test driver. These might be difficult for Uber if they want to use semi autonomous cars in normal business. There is for example requirements for specific training, driver has to be employee or contractor of the company etc. - If they agreed to apply for testing permit, it might be that the permit is declined or later suspended. - As others have stated, not having to disclose the accidents and other statistics might allow them to avoid bad publicity and keep stuff hidden from competitors. - Looks like one part of the requirements is to enroll into "Employer pull notice program". I don't think that applies just for test vehicle drivers. Would this have some implications for company like Uber? https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/dmv/?1dmy&urile=wcm:path:/dmv_content_en/dmv/vehindustry/epn/epngeninfo https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/dmv/?1dmy&urile=wcm:path:/dmv_...
