The most interesting bit of this article is imho that "Uber will soon be assessing other companies’ compliance with safety rules.":
It was in a document Otto had submitted in support of its application
to operate the state’s first Autonomous Technology Certification Facility (ATCF).
This is an independent organization that will assess all autonomous vehicles
that want to operate (rather than just test) in Nevada, checking that
they comply with the state’s safety requirements and traffic laws.
The application was a success, and construction of the facility is now underway
in a suburb of Las Vegas. (Yes, you read that right — Uber will soon be assessing
other companies’ compliance with safety rules.)
- denzil_correa 10y agoAbsolutely. I am surprised and frankly confused.
- DannyBee 10y agoRight, buried in all of this silly "wow look how important I think i am" crap is something actually worth reporting on. But instead, the author is too busy trying to peacock to actually give the reader the stuff the might care about.
- sambull 10y agoWait so is it Uber or independent? So should we just use the phrase "uber promises to be impartial :)".
- gwern 10y agoThat sounds like it raises some interesting conflict of interest questions. Biased judging to block their applications? Or just industrial espionage? (At this point, who would put either past them?)
