i get the feeling of some people here calling for bad taste, but mobileye ceo has been a long time proponent of playing it safe, underpromise, warning against the theoretical limits of modern technics, and has claimed for a very long time that fully autonomous driving wasn't doable in a near future ( proof of that in the numerous videos you can find on youtube).
i guess it's only fair for him to speak up one more time now that his fears has materialized.

- gvb 9y agoSpeaking up is understandable: Mobileye supplies its technology to Aptiv who supplies the system to Volvo for the XC90. The reports are that their system was disabled by Uber at the time of the accident. It is understandable that Mobileye does not want to share the blame in this case. Ref: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-03-26/uber-disabled-volvo-suv-s-standard-safety-system-before-fatality https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-03-26/uber-disa... “We don’t want people to be confused or think it was a failure of the technology that we supply for Volvo, because that’s not the case,” Zach Peterson, a spokesman for Aptiv Plc, said by phone. The Volvo XC90’s standard advanced driver-assistance system “has nothing to do” with the Uber test vehicle’s autonomous driving system, he said. [...] Intel Corp.’s Mobileye, which makes chips and sensors used in collision-avoidance systems and is a supplier to Aptiv.
