Absolutely not. Having two sets of sensors on the car is a good thing because it provides redundancy. If one set of sensors fails to detect say, a person in the middle of the road, the other one will step in and say "hey, brain, there's a person in the middle of the road".

If Uber intentionally disabled the second set of sensors, they were acting recklessly, and they're a danger to the development of the self-driving car industry. This one incident may have set us back years.
