  Didn't Uber's self-driving car hit and kill a jaywalker?

To be fair, they're proposing significantly improved safety procedures. To also be fair, there are not many people (as opposed to corporations) who would be out on good behavior 6 months after being convicted of vehicular manslaughter.

    In Uber's defense, killing someone is pretty much always an "beg forgiveness" rather than "ask permission" situation

      no, killing someone is what happens when you absolutely should have asked for permission. you don't get forgiveness for that.
