More Americans have been dying on high-speed roads because cities and states haven't built proper infrastructure to help people cross safely, a new study shows.
Right now, Big Auto is developing technologies that will affect every single person in this country — and the federal government is sitting on its hands.
The self-driving Uber car that killed an Arizona woman in March 2018 was not programmed to identify pedestrians outside of a crosswalk and lacked software that could have spared her life, a federal safety agency said.
"By the end of this year, we will be able to provide by year the comparative numbers of fatal collisions where SUVs were involved," the agency said in a statement.
Government workers are turning to Uber and Lyft on business trips, with a 922-percent increase in spending last year, newly released records from the General Services Administratiaon show. At the same time, workers are using less transit.
