There's lots of bad stuff in this story without making up new stuff. Those 33 times were other vehicles striking the Uber vehicle, rather than vice versa. There was one time where the Uber vehicle struck a stationary bicyle stand that was in the roadway.
- lovehashbrowns 7y agoIs the story wrong? This is what it says: "In these 37 incidents, all of the robo-vehicles were driving in autonomous mode, and in 33, self-driving cars crashed into other vehicles." This is saying the self-driving cars crashed into other vehicles.
- waiseristy 7y agoStory is wrong. The linked report has it as "Most of these crashes involved another vehicle striking the ATG test vehicle—33 such incidents; 25 of them were rear-end crashes and in 8 crashes ATG test vehicle was side swiped by another vehicle." Edit: I emailed the register and they fixed it immediately. Nice!
- user5994461 7y agoThat doesn't say who's at fault. Could be that Uber got rear ended 25 times before they disabled emergency breaking, then they hit a pedestrian.
