The Information reported on Monday that Uber has determined the likely cause of the collision in March that killed a pedestrian was a problem with the software that decides how a self-driving car should react to objects it detects. The outlet said the car’s sensors detected a pedestrian but the software decided the car did not need to react right away.

Let's be clear: if the software detected anything, it could have made a beep or flashed a light or otherwise informed its minder "heads up, there's a thing in the road, a little help here, stop surfing Facebook" but it didn't.

Because Uber has no fucking business messing about with autonomous vehicles.
