Uber’s self-driving cars have been stopped from operating in California
on the day they were launched because the vehicles were seen running red
lights.

The futuristic driverless cars were caught on camera ploughing over a
pedestrian crossing around four seconds after the light had turned red.

Another photo taken elsewhere showed an Uber car driving into a
crossroads when the light was red.

But Uber blamed the offences on human error and said the two cars which
ran the red lights were due to mistakes by the engineers who are
required to sit at the steering wheel in case of problems.

Both of the drivers have now been suspended.

In the final assay, humans are the root cause of all evil doings on this
lonely planet.
Think about that.

There is no evil and good, there is just fun and boring ****s.

They need to do that with human drivers.
