This is how cars came to be on the road in the first place. Despite the fact that they were erratic and deadly, and spewed noxious gas everywhere, the manufacturers and automobiling clubs succeeded in convincing everybody that roads were for cars. Uber may well be the worst actor in the self-driving industry, but the industry as a whole is going to need to invent new crimes akin to jaywalking. This will allow it to shift blame to those killed by autonomous vehicles, just as jaywalking implies pedestrians are to blame for being hit by manned vehicles.
