Police in Tempe, Ariz., say they're still investigating the incident
and have not yet assigned fault. But Tempe's police chief suggested
that Uber could be cleared of wrongdoing. "It's very clear it would
have been difficult to avoid this collision in any kind of mode
(autonomous or human-driven) based on how she came from the shadows
right into the roadway," the chief told the San Francisco Chronicle.

self driven cars.

I agree, besides the smoke/dark concerns, there is always the chance of
one of the sensors packing up or acting strangely.
It has also been proved that the cars can be taken over wirelessly by a
dodgey tech wizzo at the side of a road to make it crash.
Even a small laser can affect the sensors.
