A comment on Uber sets self-driving battle at permission, not existence.

Every time Uber is mentioned, it blows my mind how many people care about the law at the expense of innovation.

According to google, 3,287 seem to die everyday on the road. I honestly don't see those numbers happening when humans are taken out of the equation.

I've asked this before, but will ask it again:

Why be apart of tech if you want to follow the rules?

The vast majority of Uber's activities have nothing to do with safety.

And the very basic laws around self-driving cars don't slow innovation in any way I can see. Not everything is a dichotomy.
