His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

Now, it's telling them it expects the price-cutting competition that has hurt its profits to ease up soon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber has burned through money for years by spending heavily on growth — offering financial incentives to attract new riders and drivers, and taking on the costs of expanding into new markets around the world. So far, that growth has never translated into profits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber's IPO earlier in May \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/05/09/721746910/at-82-billion-ubers-market-debut-to-be-the-biggest-in-five-years\">did not go well\u003c/a>.

After a delay of two and a half hours, trading started with the stock at $42, down more than 6% over that initial price.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Throughout the day, share prices never reached $45. And at the closing bell, stocks were even lower than their morning value: Uber ended the day at $41.57 per share.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company's pricing reflected a relatively conservative approach for this initial public offering. A few months ago, analysts were expecting Uber's IPO to be far bigger than this. A $100 billion valuation was seen as reasonable — some even floated $120 billion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it's a rough week for the stock market, which is watching President Trump's rhetoric on trade with concern. And Uber's smaller ride-hailing rival Lyft saw its stock values plummet after an ambitiously priced IPO last month. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, this is the largest U.S. initial public offering since Alibaba's record-setting IPO in 2014.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber, which has never turned a profit, raised $8.1 billion in the IPO.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber has expanded dramatically since its founding a decade ago — in user base, in geographic scope and in ambition. Once focused on helping wealthy users hail private limos as an alternative to taxis, Uber embraced a peer-to-peer model where almost anyone could become a driver. Like Lyft, it began offering carpooling options where you share a ride with a stranger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Lyft focused on ride-hailing in the U.S., Uber took another path — expanding its global footprint and diversifying its services, offering food delivery, freight shipping and electric bike rentals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But all that growth was expensive. Uber, like Lyft, has never made a profit. Instead, the company has burned through prodigious quantities of venture capital as it slashes prices to compete with rivals and invests any earnings into expansion. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Plenty of investors see big profits in Uber's future — in the long term. These profits depend on Uber outlasting rivals, raising rates and cutting costs. Investors point to the company's massive size, and the tremendous potential markets for its many services: ordering takeout, receiving packages, even getting groceries delivered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They want to be able to touch consumers across all aspects of how they utilize transportation,\" says Ygal Arounian, an equity analyst at Wedbush Securities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And autonomous vehicles, if they begin to replace drivers, could let Uber keep a bigger chunk of what users pay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All the money raised through this IPO will help Uber chase that vision. But there are major obstacles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the technology behind autonomous or self-driving cars has come a long way, the cars are nowhere near ready for widespread, human-free deployment. And after a self-driving Uber hit and killed a pedestrian last year, Uber's own tests have slowed down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, with autos that aren't autonomous ruling the roads, Uber relies on its community of drivers for its business model to work.

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company's pricing reflected a relatively conservative approach for this initial public offering. A few months ago, analysts were expecting Uber's IPO to be far bigger than this. A $100 billion valuation was seen as reasonable — some even floated $120 billion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it's a rough week for the stock market, which is watching President Trump's rhetoric on trade with concern. And Uber's smaller ride-hailing rival Lyft saw its stock values plummet after an ambitiously priced IPO last month. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, this is the largest U.S. initial public offering since Alibaba's record-setting IPO in 2014.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber, which has never turned a profit, raised $8.1 billion in the IPO.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber has expanded dramatically since its founding a decade ago — in user base, in geographic scope and in ambition. Once focused on helping wealthy users hail private limos as an alternative to taxis, Uber embraced a peer-to-peer model where almost anyone could become a driver. Like Lyft, it began offering carpooling options where you share a ride with a stranger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Lyft focused on ride-hailing in the U.S., Uber took another path — expanding its global footprint and diversifying its services, offering food delivery, freight shipping and electric bike rentals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But all that growth was expensive. Uber, like Lyft, has never made a profit. Instead, the company has burned through prodigious quantities of venture capital as it slashes prices to compete with rivals and invests any earnings into expansion. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Plenty of investors see big profits in Uber's future — in the long term. These profits depend on Uber outlasting rivals, raising rates and cutting costs. Investors point to the company's massive size, and the tremendous potential markets for its many services: ordering takeout, receiving packages, even getting groceries delivered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They want to be able to touch consumers across all aspects of how they utilize transportation,\" says Ygal Arounian, an equity analyst at Wedbush Securities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And autonomous vehicles, if they begin to replace drivers, could let Uber keep a bigger chunk of what users pay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All the money raised through this IPO will help Uber chase that vision. But there are major obstacles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the technology behind autonomous or self-driving cars has come a long way, the cars are nowhere near ready for widespread, human-free deployment. And after a self-driving Uber hit and killed a pedestrian last year, Uber's own tests have slowed down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, with autos that aren't autonomous ruling the roads, Uber relies on its community of drivers for its business model to work. And many drivers aren't happy: On Wednesday, groups held strikes and protests in cities in the United States, United Kingdom and Australia to push for higher pay and better working conditions. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11746384\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/05/gettyimages-1142194552_custom-12954595a641e6f033bdc9a7a8e61e0d430a3ca0-s1600-c85-800x504.jpg\" alt=\"A small group of independent drivers and supporters protest against Uber and other app-based ride-hailing companies near the Wall Street Charging Bull on May 8 in New York City.

At the same time, it has never made a profit — and has instead been burning through cash at a prodigious rate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"More Uber IPO coverage\" tag=\"ipo\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber has grown massively in the decade since its founding and has footprints around the world. Its wild success has made Uber a household name — not just synonymous with ride-hailing but shorthand for any app that offers a service on demand: \"Uber, but for laundry,\" \"Uber, but for dog-walking.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And these days, Uber itself is the Uber for a lot more than ride-hailing. Uber Eats is Uber, but for \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2018/10/23/658436657/ubers-online-only-restaurants-the-future-or-the-end-of-dining-out\">takeout\u003c/a>. Uber Freight is Uber, but for shipping. Jump is Uber, but for electric bikes and scooters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is a company that's fighting a lot of battles on a lot of fronts,\" says Tom White, an analyst at D.A. Davidson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It has been expensive for Uber to expand into all those new markets. And the company has burned through money while keeping rates low to compete with its numerous rivals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber has mastered the art of rapid growth. But how can it pivot to become a profitable company?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That's the $100 billion question,\" says Ygal Arounian, an equity analyst at Wedbush Securities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Uber is losing money, and you have to have a little bit of a vision to see them taking that revenue and start turning it into profit,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both Arounian and White are optimistic about Uber's chances — eventually.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber has sheer scale on its side, giving it a balance sheet that will let it wait out competitors. And once rivals have dropped out or consolidated, Uber can stop spending so much on discounts and coupons (thus effectively raising prices for users) and start bringing in more money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Arounian also notes that there's an advantage to being the Uber for everything. If drivers work for multiple Uber platforms — for example, for ride-hailing and for Uber Eats — they can fill a day more efficiently.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"During peak driving times, that driver is picking people up and dropping them off,\" Arounian says. \"Lunchtime kicks in — they're dropping off food. Switch back on during the evening rush hour to drop people off, and then they could do dinner.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That gives Uber an edge over companies that offer just one service. Cut some expenses, find a way to spend less on insurance, eventually roll out self-driving cars, and you may have a recipe for profits, Arounian says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's reason to be skeptical. To make this recipe work, Uber has to crush a small army of competitors.

Its wild success has made Uber a household name — not just synonymous with ride-hailing but shorthand for any app that offers a service on demand: \"Uber, but for laundry,\" \"Uber, but for dog-walking.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And these days, Uber itself is the Uber for a lot more than ride-hailing. Uber Eats is Uber, but for \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2018/10/23/658436657/ubers-online-only-restaurants-the-future-or-the-end-of-dining-out\">takeout\u003c/a>.

And once rivals have dropped out or consolidated, Uber can stop spending so much on discounts and coupons (thus effectively raising prices for users) and start bringing in more money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Arounian also notes that there's an advantage to being the Uber for everything. If drivers work for multiple Uber platforms — for example, for ride-hailing and for Uber Eats — they can fill a day more efficiently.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"During peak driving times, that driver is picking people up and dropping them off,\" Arounian says. \"Lunchtime kicks in — they're dropping off food. Switch back on during the evening rush hour to drop people off, and then they could do dinner.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That gives Uber an edge over companies that offer just one service. Cut some expenses, find a way to spend less on insurance, eventually roll out self-driving cars, and you may have a recipe for profits, Arounian says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's reason to be skeptical.

"content": "\u003cp>Whenever Rachel Orden calls for an Uber, the 20-year-old Michigan State University sophomore immediately walks to the back of the vehicle to check the license plate number, then opens the door and waits for the driver to say her name before getting in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even then, she devises a backup plan in case she feels uncomfortable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"How could I get out? Could I unlock the door? Who do I have on speed dial? Could I jump out safely if I needed to? All that goes through my mind,\" said Orden, of Naples, Florida, who uses the ride-hailing service about once a week, usually when going out at night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said the March 29 slaying of University of South Carolina student Samantha Josephson, who mistakenly got into a vehicle she thought was her Uber ride, has made her even more cautious.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It also has prompted law enforcement agencies and ride-hailing companies to intensify efforts to warn passengers against getting in without checking to ensure both the vehicle and driver are legitimate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although no official tallies exist, there have been several high-profile cases involving would-be robbers and assailants posing as ride-hailing drivers — often at bars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police in South Carolina have not said if that was what the driver did in Josephson's case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You do have individuals who are predatory and roving around looking for potential victims,\" said Chicago Police Department spokesman Anthony Guglielmi, adding that fraudulent drivers are drawn to bars because people might be drunk and not paying attention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A Chicago-area man was charged with raping four women he picked up at bars after posing as an Uber driver in 2017. He picked up a fifth woman in a taxi, authorities said. Musaab Afundi has pleaded not guilty to sexual assault and his case is ongoing, CBS2 Chicago reported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In South Carolina, Josephson, 21, had ordered an Uber around 1:30 a.m. after reportedly becoming separated from friends following an evening out at Columbia bars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She mistakenly got into a car driven by 24-year-old Nathaniel David Rowland, according to authorities, who allege he used the childproof locks in his car to imprison Josephson before killing her and dumping her body about 65 miles (105 kilometers) from Columbia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her funeral was held Saturday in New Jersey, where she grew up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rowland is charged with kidnapping and murder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then on Wednesday, a 34-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of raping a woman who got into his car after leaving a Seattle bar on Dec. 16. The King County Sheriff's Office said the man led her to believe he was her driver before pulling the car over and raping her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A judge found probable cause to hold the man on investigation of third-degree rape.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And a man from Stamford, Connecticut, was charged last month with raping and kidnapping two women whom he'd picked up at bars in December, the Greenwich Time reported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There is no more dangerous place to be than in a locked car traveling with a stranger,\" said Bryant Greening, a Chicago attorney who specializes in representing ride-hailing drivers and passengers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You have to be aware of your surroundings and think how you would react if the situation turns sour ... you have to listen to your instincts.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's not just women who are at risk from fake ride-hailing drivers, he said. Men also have been robbed after getting into the wrong car. \"There is no discrimination by predators,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Greening urged Uber and Lyft to do more to educate customers and to come up with technological solutions. Also, in the wake of Josephson's death, a bill has been introduced in the South Carolina legislature to require Uber and Lyft drivers to have illuminated signs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber said in a written statement that in coming weeks it will launch a social media campaign, buy ads in college newspapers and begin sending push notifications during pickup to remind passengers about safety steps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It also said it has worked since 2017 with law enforcement and colleges to \"educate the public about how to avoid fake rideshare drivers,\" including by checking a driver's photo and vehicle description against what was sent when a trip is requested.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lyft said it also provides photos of the driver and information about the vehicle, and some Lyft vehicles have a display on dashboards that changes color to match the passengers' app to help them identify their ride.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We ... are always exploring new, innovative ways to improve the experience for all users, and most importantly, to keep our community safe,\" the company said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Orden, the Michigan State University student, said the recent assaults have made her more nervous even though she's already cautious.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"But I feel like in a way that's a good thing,\" she said. \"Now I will take even more precautions.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

He picked up a fifth woman in a taxi, authorities said. Musaab Afundi has pleaded not guilty to sexual assault and his case is ongoing, CBS2 Chicago reported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In South Carolina, Josephson, 21, had ordered an Uber around 1:30 a.m. after reportedly becoming separated from friends following an evening out at Columbia bars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She mistakenly got into a car driven by 24-year-old Nathaniel David Rowland, according to authorities, who allege he used the childproof locks in his car to imprison Josephson before killing her and dumping her body about 65 miles (105 kilometers) from Columbia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her funeral was held Saturday in New Jersey, where she grew up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rowland is charged with kidnapping and murder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then on Wednesday, a 34-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of raping a woman who got into his car after leaving a Seattle bar on Dec. 16. The King County Sheriff's Office said the man led her to believe he was her driver before pulling the car over and raping her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A judge found probable cause to hold the man on investigation of third-degree rape.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And a man from Stamford, Connecticut, was charged last month with raping and kidnapping two women whom he'd picked up at bars in December, the Greenwich Time reported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There is no more dangerous place to be than in a locked car traveling with a stranger,\" said Bryant Greening, a Chicago attorney who specializes in representing ride-hailing drivers and passengers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You have to be aware of your surroundings and think how you would react if the situation turns sour ... you have to listen to your instincts.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's not just women who are at risk from fake ride-hailing drivers, he said. Men also have been robbed after getting into the wrong car. \"There is no discrimination by predators,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Greening urged Uber and Lyft to do more to educate customers and to come up with technological solutions. Also, in the wake of Josephson's death, a bill has been introduced in the South Carolina legislature to require Uber and Lyft drivers to have illuminated signs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber said in a written statement that in coming weeks it will launch a social media campaign, buy ads in college newspapers and begin sending push notifications during pickup to remind passengers about safety steps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It also said it has worked since 2017 with law enforcement and colleges to \"educate the public about how to avoid fake rideshare drivers,\" including by checking a driver's photo and vehicle description against what was sent when a trip is requested.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lyft said it also provides photos of the driver and information about the vehicle, and some Lyft vehicles have a display on dashboards that changes color to match the passengers' app to help them identify their ride.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We ... are always exploring new, innovative ways to improve the experience for all users, and most importantly, to keep our community safe,\" the company said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Orden, the Michigan State University student, said the recent assaults have made her more nervous even though she's already cautious.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"But I feel like in a way that's a good thing,\" she said. \"Now I will take even more precautions.\"\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Lane lines aren't standardized, so vehicles have to learn how to drive differently in each city. Sometimes there aren't any curbs to help vehicles judge lane width.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For instance, in Pittsburgh's industrial \"Strip District,\" where many self-driving vehicles are tested, the city draws lines across the narrow lanes to mark where vehicles should stop for stop signs. Sometimes the lines are so far back and buildings are so close to the street that autonomous cars can't see traffic on the cross street if they stop at the line. One workaround is to program vehicles to stop for the line and creep forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Is it better to do a double stop?\" asked Pete Rander, president of Argo AI, an autonomous vehicle company in which Ford has invested heavily. \"Since intersections vary, it's not that easy.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Dealing With Human Drivers\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>For many years, autonomous vehicles will have to deal with humans who don't always play by the rules. They double-park or walk in front of cars. Recently in Pittsburgh, an Argo backup driver had to take over when his car stopped during a right turn, blocking an intersection when it couldn't immediately decide whether to go around a double-parked delivery truck.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11668523/distracted-autopilot\">Mark Fiore: Distracted Autopilot\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11668523/distracted-autopilot\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/distracted_051518_final-1180x753.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\"Even if the car might eventually figure something out, it's shared space, and it's socially unacceptable\" to block traffic, Rander said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Humans also make eye contact with other drivers to make sure they're looking in the right direction, something still being developed for autonomous vehicles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Add to that the antagonism that some feel toward robots. People have reportedly been harassing Waymo's autonomous test vehicles near Phoenix. The Arizona Republic reported in December that police is suburban Chandler have documented at least 21 cases in the past two years, including a man waiving a gun at a Waymo van and people who slashed tires and threw rocks.

Google's Waymo, for instance, decided not to launch a fully autonomous ride-hailing service in the Phoenix area and will rely on human backup drivers to ferry passengers, at least for now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are the problems that researchers must overcome to start giving rides without humans behind the wheel:\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Snow and Weather\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>When it's heavy enough to cover the pavement, snow blocks the view of lane lines that vehicle cameras use to find their way. Researchers so far haven't figured out a way around this. That's why much of the testing is done in warm-weather climates such as Arizona and California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Heavy snow, rain, fog and sandstorms can obstruct the view of cameras. Light beams sent out by laser sensors can bounce off snowflakes and think they are obstacles. Radar can see through the weather, but it doesn't show the shape of an object needed for computers to figure out what it is.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1933667/should-self-driving-cars-have-ethics\">Should Self-Driving Cars Have Ethics?\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1933667/should-self-driving-cars-have-ethics\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2018/10/gettyimages-843272498-80183887af24176749966ee5ee5cd0e22bf46cf5-1180x885.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\"It's like losing part of your vision,\" says Raj Rajkumar, an electrical and computer engineering professor at Carnegie Mellon University.\u003cbr>\nResearchers are working on laser sensors that use a different light beam wavelength to see through snowflakes, said Greg McGuire, director of the MCity autonomous vehicle testing lab at the University of Michigan.

Lane lines aren't standardized, so vehicles have to learn how to drive differently in each city. Sometimes there aren't any curbs to help vehicles judge lane width.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For instance, in Pittsburgh's industrial \"Strip District,\" where many self-driving vehicles are tested, the city draws lines across the narrow lanes to mark where vehicles should stop for stop signs. Sometimes the lines are so far back and buildings are so close to the street that autonomous cars can't see traffic on the cross street if they stop at the line. One workaround is to program vehicles to stop for the line and creep forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Is it better to do a double stop?\" asked Pete Rander, president of Argo AI, an autonomous vehicle company in which Ford has invested heavily. \"Since intersections vary, it's not that easy.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Dealing With Human Drivers\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>For many years, autonomous vehicles will have to deal with humans who don't always play by the rules. They double-park or walk in front of cars. Recently in Pittsburgh, an Argo backup driver had to take over when his car stopped during a right turn, blocking an intersection when it couldn't immediately decide whether to go around a double-parked delivery truck.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11668523/distracted-autopilot\">Mark Fiore: Distracted Autopilot\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11668523/distracted-autopilot\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/distracted_051518_final-1180x753.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\"Even if the car might eventually figure something out, it's shared space, and it's socially unacceptable\" to block traffic, Rander said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Humans also make eye contact with other drivers to make sure they're looking in the right direction, something still being developed for autonomous vehicles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Add to that the antagonism that some feel toward robots. People have reportedly been harassing Waymo's autonomous test vehicles near Phoenix. The Arizona Republic reported in December that police is suburban Chandler have documented at least 21 cases in the past two years, including a man waiving a gun at a Waymo van and people who slashed tires and threw rocks.
