that is actually a sign of a smart and high functioning engineering team Do you know what auto makers do in this kind of situation? They build a test track and a workshop at the test track and probably a larger facility adjacent to it, and situate the engineers there. They don't say "well, our engineers live in one of the densest urban areas in the country, let's just test our new car there to be close to them". Uber should get a test track out in the desert or something and relocate some engineers to it. And maybe without the distractions of the SF office they'd manage to get some basic stuff tested, like "recognizes red lights" or "understands how to turn from the rightmost lane".
