Damning report reveals 'deadly recklessness' of firms racing to put self-driving cars on the road

Self-driving cars have come a long way from being a sci-fi fantasy, with the likes of Google, Uber and Tesla all establishing a stake in the race to bring them to the road. But as autonomous vehicles have become more commonplace, so has criticism around a lack of safety in the technology. Uber, Google and Tesla have all exhibited elements of'recklessness' in their development of autonomous vehicles, as shown by the slew of accidents that have recently occurred, according to Gizmodo. Crashes involving self-driving cars have led to injuries and, in some cases, even death. And often, the autonomous vehicles escape the blame for the incident - instead, it has fallen on the human test drivers who were supposed to be watching the road.
