Cities Need to Take the Wheel in Our Driverless Future

Cities Need to Take the Wheel in Our Driverless Future

Instead of blindly welcoming self-driving cars to their streets, city leaders have a chance to prevent tragedies like the Uber fatality from happening again.

Never waste a good crisis. The awful news is that one of Uber’s self-driving cars hit and killed a pedestrian in Tempe, Arizona. If anything good is to come from the tragedy, cities need to seize this opportunity to change minds.

Cities shouldn’t miss their moment to be firmly in the driver’s seat.
