You’re really stretching for some of these. Uber is not representative of self driving. The problems they have are completely their own and stems from a fundamentally toxic culture that has been left behind from its original owners.

Tesla isn’t self driving. Currently it is advanced control, and though I agree that it is massively unethical to be advertising it as “autopilot”, the deaths are attributable solely and only to Tesla.

Waymo is the probably the pinnacle of safety first self driving. The way the author had to word his statements to fit into a negative commentary clearly shows there’s pretty much nothing to grab on to. I think whatever happened with Levandowski earlier on and the legal fiasco there is a legitimate issue but unrelated to the self-driving itself.
