Many companies are pursuing self-driving cars, but only one is on a deadline to make it work before it runs out of cash: Uber.
The ride-sharing company was the first to deploy self-driving cars on pubic roads (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in late 2016), and is now the first to record a fatal accident. Depending on what investigators discover about that accident that struck and killed a homeless woman in Tempe, Arizona, on March 18, the company could set back development of the technology in the US.
