Re: Autonomous vehicle safety ignored

That's the point of having a 'safety' driver - it's the equivalent of a driving instructor...

It might be the legal equivalent, but I cannot believe a qualified driving instructor would fail to monitor the student to such a degree as was shown in the video released concerning the Uber pedestrian fatality. The issue is not just the tech. It is the ethics of those at the top of the company. It is the care with which they choose their employees and how they treat them. It is a direct reflection of the people running the company and it is a very scary sight to behold.
