Uber self-driving cars were involved in 37 crashes before killing pedestrian

NTSB says Uber software flawed, had no way to detect jaywalking pedestrian

Uber Technologies Inc's autonomous test vehicles were involved in 37 crashes in the 18 months before a fatal March 2018 self-driving car accident, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) said on Tuesday. The board said between September 2016 and March 2018, there were 37 crashes of Uber vehicles in autonomous mode at the time, including 33 that involved another vehicle striking test vehicles. The NTSB will hold a probable cause hearing on the crash Nov. 19.
