[Dprglist] uber death

[Ezra Christensen]

I'll wait to see the details before drawing conclusions. It happened at 
10pm in clear, dry conditions and there was no speed adjustment by the 
car and no operator disengagement? Some part of the story is missing.

It's unrealistic to assume autonomous cars will have zero fatalities. 
The goal has always been to be significantly safer than human operators.
