For the time being, Uber’s self-driving Volvo SUVs will be confined to a one-mile loop around Pittsburgh’s Strip District, where the company’s Advanced Technologies Group (ATG) is headquartered. Only two vehicles are being tested for now, though more will be added. The cars won’t exceed the posted speed limit of 25 mph, and will have two safety drivers in them at all times — Uber calls them “mission specialists.” For now, the cars aren’t picking up any passengers.

So now they need to pay two drivers to sit in every car, that cannot go more than 25 mph on a continual mile loop because that one guy couldnt do his job right. 😒
Meanwhile Lyft is proving they are taking this whole thing seriously too by hiring this guy...

"a one mile loop" LOL, wow big news. Good job Uber on your achievement 😂
Does anyone know if that uber driver from the crash was jailed? I remember it was completely obvious that he was at fault (looking at his phone the whole time).
I think people are putting way too much stock on that crash. You know how many non-autonomous car crashes happen every single day?!
