Tesla cars do not work in residential streets because it is far more difficult to navigate autonomously than the highway.[1]

This is what Uber is doing. Frankly, Uber is reckless and someone is going to die just so that their 2nd tier engineers can feel goey inside. They are running through red lights, cutting off cyclists with their half-baked products.

I use my self driving feature on my Uber in San Francisco all the time. It's an extra safety assurance against hitting a pedestrian.
