Ask HN: How's the Self Driving Uber Test in Pittsburgh going?
Curious
- jrowley 10y agoI've seen what looked like one cruising around Oakland. I was very tempted to flip them the bird because I'm just a bad person and kind of disgusted by certain aspects of uber, but I just stood there and gawked. There were lots of sensors/cameras on the car and I didn't want them to use facial recognition to greyball me in the future. edit: can you imagine down the line, the wealth of data self driving cars will collect? They could be subsidized/integrated with palantir, so a city or some company will own a suite of cars and sell that data to 3rd parties. Police departments will pay big money to get city data out of self driving busses/etc so they can have better surveillance.
- Arcten 10y agoI have no inside information, but I've bicycled past them on occasion and felt comfortable enough. Lots of friends posting about riding in them and the experience seems to have been positive for them as well. There are so many around that it no longer registers as something surprising to see one.
- WillKirkby 10y agoSounds like their self-driving car tests are going great: http://www.reuters.com/article/us-uber-tech-crash-idUSKBN16W0UZ http://www.reuters.com/article/us-uber-tech-crash-idUSKBN16W...
