The technology behind autonomous vehicles has originated from coders in Silicon Valley, engineers in Detroit and academic researchers in Pittsburgh. Much of it eventually lands on the streets of Arizona, a state that’s done more than any other to welcome tests of unproven self-driving software to public roads. The death this week of a 49-year-old woman in Tempe, who suddenly stepped in front of a self-driving Uber SUV, highlights the risk of the state’s laissez-faire approach to the emerging technology.
