So this program was a secret between Uber and the governor. That wasn’t good. Now it’s emerged that a key piece of safety software was intentionally disabled in the self-driving car in Arizona that killed a pedestrian earlier this month. I’m guessing Uber is quite glad it’s already settled with the woman’s family.
