So Uber are on course to make a huge (multi-billion dollar) loss this year, and on top of that they choose a course of action which could lead to jail-time, might kill someone, and result in massive civil liability. They also make autonomous vehicles look like a half-baked kludge with no real place on the roads and might even cause some regulators to ban them indefinitely. Brilliant.

They're on course for having a car pulled over, the cop asks for their self-driving permit (SFPD probably has briefed their people on this by now), they don't have it, the driver is arrested and the car gets towed to the impound. Routine enforcement. If it's an accident, it's much worse for Uber.
