hijra··on Uber to Suspend Autonomous Tests After Arizona Accident
I don't trust Uber, but I trust statistics.

If Uber is statistically safer without human drivers, then pushing it out 10 months early with bugs could save lives.

Humans aren't predisposed to trust science over their gut though.

The argument should be whether autonomous cars from Uber can drive better than humans.

Because if the answer is yes we should get the dangerous technology off the roads ASAP -- namely humans.

It's a good question whether society is ready to accept this, though.
