DON’T BE FOOLED BY THE HEADLINE, UBER REALLY HAS MOVED ITS PROTOTYPE AUTONOMOUS VEHILCE TESTING TO ARIZONA

There’s a story at CNET under the headline “Uber’s self-driving cars back in SF, but now they’re legal.”  What the story actually says is that Uber is using five self-driving vehicles to do mapping in San Francisco, and that the vehicles aren’t actually operating autonomously but are being driven manually.  In other words, the real story here is still that Uber has moved its autonomous vehicle testing to Arizona, and California, as the story makes clear, hasn’t budged on its refusal to allow the autonomous vehicles to operate there.
