WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The chairman of the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) on Tuesday criticized Uber Technologies Inc (UBER.N) for its “ineffective safety culture” at the time of a March 2018 fatal self-driving car crash in Arizona.
NTSB Chairman Robert Sumwalt said “the inappropriate actions of both the automatic driving system as implemented and the vehicle’s human operator were symptoms of a deeper problem” citing the “ineffective safety culture that existed at the time of Uber.”
Uber did not immediately comment but has made significant reforms to its self-driving car testing since the crash.
