I'm not going to pretend I care a whole lot, but I'm kind of glad I was bored enough to watch what I thought would be UMBC getting killed.
Pretty neat.
Well, that's not good obviously...
Uber has removed its self-driving cars from the roads following what is believed to be the first fatality involving a fully autonomous car.
A self-driving Uber SUV struck and killed a pedestrian in Tempe, Arizona, Sunday night, according to the Tempe police. The department is investigating the crash.
A driver was behind the wheel at the time, the police said.
"The vehicle involved is one of Uber's self-driving vehicles," the Tempe police said in a statement. "It was in autonomous mode at the time of the collision, with a vehicle operator behind the wheel."
Autonomous mode means the car is driving on its own. During tests, a person sits behind the wheel as a safeguard.
And the Coyotes lose another fan. Sad!Well, that's not good obviously...
