IIRC, Uber initially launched its self driving cars by flouting California law: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cnet.com/google-amp/news/ub...

EDIT: Yeah this was a bit reactionary on my part. I get it, it's not over the $150.

It tells a lot about Uber that they weren't willing to fork over $150 for a permit.

It had nothing to do with the $150, but part of accepting the permit is taking legal responsibility to report disengagement from autonomous testing. Uber didn't want to share this information since it would make them look bad.

It does say a lot about Uber, but clearly the $150 was not the issue. They didn't want to report disengagements.

It's more likely that they couldn't be bothered with the associated process than that they couldn't afford the $150.

It wasn't about the $150, it was about not sharing data about the status of their program. I'm not sure which is worse.
