The sub minimum wage on demand economy worker lives to drive another day
So do the people who lease cars to them
The self driving car should have seen it coming, pay attention to your blind spots....
Self driving car works as long as the road is full of good drivers, swerving out of the way is obsolete

I think you'll be preoccupied with the robotic donkeys.You say it like its a bad thing
Still uber's fault because uber knows bad human drivers aren't some fairy-tale or rarity in the real world. Hence, they either figure out a way to account for the bad drivers, or they rely on machines to crash and hope for the best afterwards.
Uber will get sued, but the accident should be on the other driver.Still uber's fault because uber knows bad human drivers aren't some fairy-tale or rarity in the real world.

Uber is '5,000 times worse than Google's Waymo at self-driving cars'
"According to driving statistics compiled by an analyst firm, Uber is the worst of six major self-driving car companies testing its vehicles in the state.
The minicab firm experienced a “disengagement” – when the automated system forces the human driver/passenger to take over control of the vehicle – once every mile driven, with a total of 20,354 miles clocked up before it was banned from testing in the state.
By contrast, at the top of the table was Waymo, Google’s sibling company, with one disengagement every 5,128 miles driven, and more than half a million miles driven in the last 12 months."

That's what insurance is for. Otherwise you wouldn't give out driver's licenses either.Still uber's fault because uber knows bad human drivers aren't some fairy-tale or rarity in the real world.

Oh no, the discussion I was having about was more on the "someone dies" tip.
My point is; people almost crash all the time and usually the "almost" happens because the other driver can tell that you're fukking up and they do something about it. If you as a human being see a driver run a red light, depending on his speed you have the ability to step on brakes as a response to him fukking up. Sure you'll be swearing like a sailor as you're doing it, but at least the crash has been avoided.
A driverless car doesn't have that, because a driverless car 100% attention is set on following the rules by the book. So if the light turns green the driverless car just goes, it doesn't see a car violating the rules through peripheral vision. So the car crashes, and people die. Now we can pin the deaths on the careless driver, but a good defense will be able to challenge the verdict if it can prove that the driverless car could've avoided collision if it wasn't driverless...if behind the wheel there was somebody ready to pump the brakes while saying: "Dafuq is wrong with this nikka?!
