Uber to pay $10M in gender discrimination case
App-based cab service Uber in partnership with the Telangana government, today flagged off the first 100 cars under the Driver Empowerment Programme.
It's unclear if Uber's tragic accident in Arizona will have a broader effect on the autonomous vehicle industry.
Uber claims that it has started making changes to workplace policy right after the claims began in 2013.
Uber's entire formula revolves around giving you cheap rides in cars with strangers. "Ducey, meanwhile, helped Uber deal with other officials in Arizona, issued decrees that were friendly to the company, tweeted out an advert at the company's request, and even seems to have been open to wearing an Uber t-shirt at an official event".
"This is a very strong settlement that provides real value to class members for the discrimination and harassment they suffered, while ensuring that Uber reforms its employment practices to prevent future discrimination and harassment", Jahan Sagafi, the attorney representing the plaintiffs, said in a statement.
Herzberg was pushing a bicycle while walking across a four-lane road outside a crosswalk when she was struck. The night was clear and streetlights were lit.
Uber declined to comment on its radar system.
Still, as Uber draws down, other self-driving auto companies are ramping up their efforts considerably.
To be sure, there are many possible causes of the crash other than the lidar blind spot.

Before the company can resume autonomous testing in California, it must apply for a new permit.
While riders are looking at the potential for significant discounts, drivers on the other hand "shouldn't see any major impact on what they earn".
At Uber's September 2016 unveiling of its Pittsburgh self-driving vehicle operation, it was still using the Fusions, but had a Volvo on display.
The complaint, filed on behalf of more than 400 female and minority software engineers, claims that Uber created a hostile working environment and discriminated on the basis of race, gender and nationality.
At the end of the ride, all passengers are dropped off at the same spot, and Uber says they'll "need to follow the walking directions in the app for a short walk to your chosen destination".
One former Uber employee involved in testing both the Fusions and Volvo SUVs said that during a test run in late 2016, the Volvo failed to see a delivery truck's tailgate lift that extended into the street, and the vehicle almost hit it going 35 miles-per-hour.
Uber also published its first-ever diversity report in the months after Fowler's essay went viral.
