Numerous ex-employees have now come out to reveal that Uber slashed the number of LiDAR units per vehicle from 7 to 1 in 2016, when the switch from Ford Fusion units to Volvo SUVs was made. This large reduction in sensor tech apparently created a pedestrian “blind zone” around the perimeter of the SUV. Unsurprisingly, this blind zone eventually led to a pedestrian fatality — the recent, widely reported on death in Tempe, Arizona. Where were these ex-employees before this? What was Uber, which I at least think has a huge amount of money, thinking?! They obviously didn't test the change enough.
