SF is a terrible choice to roll this project out in. It is a horrible city to drive in - a mess of meandering streets, hills, people walking around everywhere. Should have worked out the kinks somewhere else.

You pick a tough city for the end testing -- they done this stuff all over the place but there's a reason they are running these in challenging places now- to confirm low rates of issues in the worst markets

End testing? I would think getting it to not run a clearly visible red light would have been on the first to do list.

Yea they've done years of successful testing- if anything they are past that phase even as they are rolling it out live in cities for passengers (started months ago I believe).

That it had an error (that drivers around the world make) isn't that incredibly damning

I'm very much looking forward to my future self-driving car, or the day when these cars make it unnecessary for everyone to own a vehicle... Damn luddites trying to mess it up for me.
