Uber's autonomous car causes the first known pedestrian fatality from a driverless vehicle and thus sets off the alarm bell for artificial intelligence. An Arizona woman dies in a car accident in the Phoenix suburb of Tempe that involves one of Uber's driverless cars.
As a result, Uber suspends its autonomous car operations in Phoenix, Pittsburgh, San Francisco, and Toronto. This fatality makes cities less likely to trust Uber and so undermines the generic claim that Uber serves as an autonomous car platform rather than a transportation service provider. Further, this incidence forces Uber to improve the safety of its autonomous and human-driven vehicles. Even if Uber can perfect its self-driving technology by mid-2019 (when the company hopes to launch autonomous car services), city governments might not trust the Uber enough to work with autonomous cars.
Stock analysts downgrade the approximate $70 billion market valuation of Uber by BlackRock and Morgan Stanley. Because Uber delays the launch of autonomous car services after mid-2019, the artificial-intelligence-driven company may defer its grand plan to go public in the next 18 months.
