Amusingly, the law also says that manufacturers have to produce headlights that cast light out far enough to leave you adequate stopping distance at 60mph. Almost no headlights on the market currently do that.
Not a counterpoint, just a tangent that I find sadly amusing.

Maybe for brights, though they can be blinding to oncoming traffic. Even the LED ones appear too bright to me.
A similar thing (no fatalities, just a shopping cart pushed by homeless people) happened to me. Ever since then, I have learned to be much more aware of situations like this (tunnel of light surrounded by darkness).
This just shows that Uber's tech is bad and that they let it on the road shows that their culture is still at least partly rotten.
I don't think Dara is the do gooder that some people are making him out to be. His primary motivation seems to be to usher Uber to an IPO. IMHO, if he actually had ethics, he would be front and center on this. Your company just killed someone. Where are you?
