On Self Driving Cars As with large technology companies, their platforms & privacy, some Self Driving Car companies are more trustworthy than others. We knew this a year ago & didn't need the recent death of a pedestrian to be concerned about Uber's efforts. 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. https://www.theguardian.com/...
