This paradigm-shift is a chance to address one of the leading causes of preventable death in the world. It doesn't surprise me for a moment that this was Uber (though it might have been a Tesla). From all I've seen and read, these companies are racing unscrupulously, and some have inferior technology compared with others. Waymo seem to be approaching the problem from a safety direction rather than a pure race for profit. We need to hold SDs to a higher standard than we hold human drivers. Not 1.5x the standard; 1000. 10,000. 100,000. And every death must be treated as a serious failure of engineering. These are preventable deaths.
