Testing is not a valid reason for disabling it, because if it fires, then either Uber's system has failed to respond in time, or it is a false positive, and there cannot be many of those, or else it would be a problem with the relatively large numbers of otherwise ordinary Volvos equipped with emergency braking and being driven by humans.

Perhaps they wanted lower tolerances for braking than possible with the Volvo system ... which still seems rather unresponsible.

I don’t think through any of this anyone has accused Uber of being responsible.
