Uber wants to allow self-driving cars in Pittsburgh

Uber’s decision to allow self-driving cars on the roads of Pittsburgh this week was has alarmed security experts

Uber’s settlement to allow self-driving cars on the roads of Pittsburgh this week has alarmed security experts who mentioned that the engineering is not nearly prepared for prime time.

Pennsylvania hasn’t yet established rules that would determine what would happen in the case of a collision or necessary legislation that would authorize the examination of self-driving automobiles.

Because Pittsburgh has more bridges than any other metropolis in the United States, researchers stated that the autonomous vehicles had been driven off bridges.

A previous administrator of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and customer-protection advocate mentioned that passengers will be turned into guinea pigs and that more studies must be made before having customers in the vehicles.

Technologists believe that testing driverless cars on actual roads is necessary. While supporting their statement, scientists mentioned that more than 37,000 Americans die every year from car crashed which are caused by driver errors. Moreover, the self-driving car advocates considered that if corporations like Uber had to wait for governments to approve the necessary laws, the technology might never have happened.

The different views on technology revealed by Uber’s Pittsburgh plan have called into question the anxiety over how significant discovery should take place in America.

Although many companies like General Motors and Google are leading experiments of automatic cars on public streets, Uber is the first corporation to bring everyday passengers along for the journey.

The policy manager for Pennsylvania’s Department of Transportation, Roger Cohen, said that Uber did not legally have to ask for the regulator’s approval before launching its product. He also mentioned that while not prohibiting it, the current law is silently permitting the action.

Travis Kalanick, Uber’s chief executive, says that although the company did not exist five years ago, it is now a leader in engineering which hopes that one day, they will be capable of replacing human drivers with science and technology. Moreover, what makes the company unique, unlike Volvo and Google is that it partners with automotive producers, and that Pittsburgh could seize upon the manufacturing component.

What do you think about Uber’s new self-driving car project in Pittsburg? Please let us know in the comment section below.
