This seems over negative. Just the opening argument, that companies were saying "that fully self driving car was very close" but "this narrative begins to crack"
Tesla self driving cars have crashed too. Arrogant people like Elon Musk are making a bad name for the hardworking AI developers who are actually trying to make self driving cars faulty proof.
That vid of the Uber crash - just because one company has a crap product doesn't mean they are all bad. Waymo is about the only one that seems about ready to go and I think partly because they don't just count on deep learning.
Like I said, Uber and Tesla have both been reported. If two companies of that status with their funding abilities are potentially dangerous, I wouldn't doubt any smaller company would.
Yet here they are self driving https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqRMTWqhwzM&feature=youtu.be and you should be able to hail one as a cab this year https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/05/09/self_driving_taxis_...
