In the document, Uber touts 'enhancements', including the public release of a 'Safety Case Framework' that it pledges to make open-sourced for peer review. The company also details new internal safety management procedures and the establishment of an independent Safety and Responsibility Advisory Board. — Uber/TNS
Uber Technologies Inc vowed to make public more safety information regarding its self-driving cars after the US National Transportation Safety Board placed partial blame for a fatal 2018 crash on the company’s policies.
The company made the pledge in an update to its voluntary safety assessment, filed Friday with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. It marked the first major attempt by Uber to allay criticism of its autonomous driving programme since the NTSB board reached its conclusions regarding a Tempe, Arizona, crash in 2018 believed to be the first fatal pedestrian accident involving a self-driving vehicle.
