No you don't understand, Uber didn't have self driving cars on the road, they had autonomous test vehicles. There was never any reasonable expectation that the test vehicle would perform perfectly in all situations, that's why there is a human monitor in the drivers seat. That human monitor is the final failsafe, it's the same with Tesla's Autopilot, and the same with any conventional car. When Rafaela Vasquez volunteered to drive the vehicle, she accepted responsibility for the vehicle. She was watching a television show when the accident occurred.

The bipedal ape component is being used out of spec and the blame for that lays with the engineers who designed the system.
