Default Re: Momo Fukuber

If you search on "uber death" some interesting things come up.

The blindingly obvious: Uber self-driving car death could hurt adoption - Business Insider - and: Uber Death Elicits Warning From Union Wary of Robo-Truckers - Bloomberg

Human-driven Uber cars have killed humans: Uber sued over girl's death in S.F. - SFGate (2014) (as have human-driven non-Uber cars, of course - this article is more about shitty Uber management practices).

Tesla Autopilot has also killed a human, although in this case it was the driver and it was driver-assistance technology rather than driverless (mind you, the recent Uber incident also had a "human safety driver supervising the vehicle"): Uber Death Likely to Spur Tesla-Like Scrutiny, Finger-Pointing - Bloomberg

Ok, this is where is gets interesting: human causes the death of an Uber driver: 16-Year-Old Girl Allegedly Hacks Uber Driver To Death With Machete (2017) - she bought the weapons and then called the Uber. The converse of this would be driverless cars actively hunting down humans. And you know that's going to happen.

And holy crap I knew their management practices were shit but: Uber eats driver suspected in shooting death of customer ... oh wait, missed the capitalisation Uber Eats driver suspected in shooting death of customer turns himself in - CNN
