I didn't get the Uber reference, have not they given up on driverless cars, at least for the near future? after the sensor / lidar failure resulting in a fatal crash.

- darkpuma 8y agoUber stopped for a few months after killing a woman, but resumed testing a month ago: https://techcrunch.com/2018/12/20/uber-self-driving-car-testing-resumes-pittsburgh/ https://techcrunch.com/2018/12/20/uber-self-driving-car-test...
- JshWright 8y agoIt wasn't a sensor failure. Multiple sensors (including the lidar) detected the woman with plenty of time to stop.
- kwhitefoot 8y agoIt was a management failure. The car had a perfectly ordinary radar based emergency braking function factory fitted by Volvo but Uber disabled it, presumably to avoid interference with the cars autonomous driving functions (if I recall correctly).
