Friday, March 24 was clear and sunny in Tempe, Arizona, with a high temperature kissing 78 degrees - perfect weather to end the work week. For the ride-hailing zealots at Uber, a beautiful sunset was a harbinger of much ugliness to come. The news goes incandescent when something bad happens to Uber or autonomous vehicles. A single story with both an autonomous car crashing and Uber is like double Christmas for the profit-centered, sensationalized news media. I wish we were at the point where every autonomous car incident didn’t result in a flurry of headlines and wide, shallow coverage.
