[QUOTE="Jetset, post: 1179287, member: 12687"] Sort of an interesting footnote to this story, the governor of Arizona has now intervened to bar Uber's self-driving cars from the state after information has come to light about just how bad their program is actually going. They were reportedly struggling to simply give their own CEO a ride around Phoenix without a safety driver having to take over, a benchmark they had labelled "Milestone 1: Confidence".
