Even if Uber is found to be 100% at fault in this case, how much do you think will actually be paid out in damages? I wouldn't even assume that their liability would exceed their insurance cap.
The long-term prospects of "self-driving" vehicles will suffer more than Uber does as a result of this.
Well, perhaps, that’s why I said “maybe”. And yes, due to bad publicity, self-driving cars are in for a serious setback. It will return eventually I think.
