One of their self-driving cars killed a jaywalker a while back.

They killed a guy.


Uber is a truly horrible company though. On all levels.

You mean to tell me hiring people without ever meeting them isn't working out?

It's working out 99.9999% of the time

Think about how many people use a ride share app everyday and have no issues. Nothing will ever be perfect. And no, this is not me defending murderers or rapists.

I think the idea is awesome. Even their desire to have self driving cars so they can automate the process.

They are a terrible company.

I was thinking of the fatal accident with one of their self driving Volvos.

Very true.

Although I'm not sure using Yellow Cab as a moral baseline is a solid foundation.

humans wreck thousands of times each day and then freak out when an autonomous car gets in an accident.
