Tragically, an Uber self-driving car struck and killed a woman in Tempe, Arizona three days ago. It appears she was walking her bicycle across the road, not at a crosswalk or near an intersection. Uber immediately stopped its test program in Arizona and elsewhere. Link.
I'm posting the link not because of the accident, but because it includes a good graphic about how a self-driving car works.
Addendum: The NYT article was updated -- the part about the safety driver -- after I posted the above.
