(Keith Srakocic/AP)Last month, Uber made a surprise announcement: The company would let Uber customers hail self-driving cars on the streets of Pittsburgh. We agreed with them about six months ago to let them take autonomous vehicles onto our streets. All the parallel research — the parts that would be needed to create autonomous vehicles, like cybersecurity research for vehicles, is being done here. Is there an application for self-driving cars in public transit? A lot of people are scared of self-driving cars.
