MOST COMMON EXPLANATIONS FOR UBER ACCIDENTS
On behalf of Shea & Shea - A Professional Law Corporation on Wednesday, October 24, 2018. In recent years, Uber has experimented with self-driving vehicles. When one of these self-driving cars struck a pedestrian, it forced the company to suspend the project in California. While these autonomous vehicles are still a long way from widespread use, there is still the risk that people can sustain injuries from getting into an Uber with a human driver behind the wheel. Passengers have suffered injuries to the knees, hands, neck and head from Uber drivers not paying attention.
