By Brian Turner, InsideOttawaValley, August 23, 2019 While driverless vehicle
technology is still in its infancy, industry insiders are raising the alarm
bells over fleet testing on public roads. Recently a former Uber exec went
public with his opinions on the risks of high mileage testing, which he states
involves collisions at rates higher than human pilots. This, he said endangers
other motorists and pedestrians alike. With the U.S. federal government
currently considering legislation to cover autonomous vehicles, Robbie Miller —
a former Uber operations manager — is calling for a rethink on safety standards.
"I want to make the road safer," said Miller, in a recent interview with Autonews.
