This can't be reiterated enough times. Forbes articles, in my mind, are automatically bunk now, since they accept minimally vetted blog posts from their "contributors" who are just looking for SEO and a boost from the brand name.
Not that Wired is some bastion of perfect journalism, but it's funny how this blog post levels criticism at Wired with little additional data, and simply says "I think they're wrong, because I think AVs will be better one day, so it's worth letting them screw up all over our cities for a few years".
