Move fast and disable the brakes. They in fact began testing with two people per car, but then decided to go with just one. An Uber spokeswoman stated [1]:
> We decided to make this transition [from two to one] because after testing, we felt we could accomplish the task of the second person—annotating each intervention with information about what was happening around the car—by looking at our logs after the vehicle had returned to base, rather than in real time.
However, this seems to contradict the NTSB report which indicates that it still was the driver's responsibility to perform this event tagging task, which necessarily implies taking your eyes off the road.
