First Driverless Uber Pedestrian Kill Foreshadows New Era of Deniable Assassinations

in #uber7 years ago (edited)

Hmm... An "accident" that will not be considered anyone's fault. Intelligence organizations take note: here's a lethal technology that can be used with plausible deniability and controlled from a distance. It won't be long before we start seeing more "on-purposes" and only "conspiracy theorists" will ever question if someone could couple facial recognition of enemies of the state with driverless cars. Much cheaper than contracted assassinations, less risk of getting caught. Uber's greatest hits!
