Police announced that a woman has died from her injuries after being struck by a Uber self-driving vehicle in Arizona. Uber added the self-driving Volvos to its fleet in San Francisco late last year. SAN FRANCISCO -- An Uber self-driving car hit and killed a woman in Tempe, Ariz., Sunday night, an incident that might deliver a setback to the otherwise feverish development of autonomous transportation. The Uber car was in self-driving mode when the accident occurred, but had a safety driver at the wheel as is the norm when testing such vehicles, according to local police. Uber issued a statement saying that it was "fully cooperating with local authorities."

The artificial intelligence (AI) currently being developed is largely benevolent. It can mimic the way humans think, complete menial and repetitive tasks, and more. But that doesn't prevent people from being afraid of AI, thinking it will take away jobs or eventually turn Terminator into a documentary. Somebody thought AI wasn't scary enough, and did something to change that. Researchers from MIT and Australia's CSIRO have created AI that actively warps pictures into scary nightmare fuel.
