Right up until about the time of a fatal accident in March, Reuters reports that police in Tempe, Arizona said evidence showed the “safety” driver behind the wheel of a self-driving Uber was distracted and streaming a television show on her phone. They have deemed the crash that rocked the nascent industry “entirely avoidable.”
A 318-page report from the Tempe Police Department was released late on Thursday in response to a public records request.
