"In 2019, an Arizona prosecutor’s office said Uber would not face criminal liability for the incident." nytimes.com/2020/09/15/tec…
An awful development, for an awful story. That safety driver was always destined to fail.
"Uber chose to test their system quickly & cheaply... [Other AVs] put 2 or more qualified engineers in each of their test vehicles. Vasquez was alone, & she was no test pilot. The only qualification she needed before starting work was a driver’s license" onezero.medium.com/who-killed-ela…
"One engineer at Uber later told a journalist that the company had 'refused to take responsibility. They blamed it on the homeless lady [Herzberg], the Latina with a criminal record driving the car [Vasquez], even though we all knew Perception [Uber’s software] was broken.'"
Everyone is culpable in this death, including Governor Ducey.
Still waiting on this indictment...
