An Uber self-driving car was just caught on camera running a red light in San Francisco. Today was the first day the cars were testing passenger pickup on the open road there.
A YouTube user known as Charles Rotter posted a video of the vehicle as it failed to stop at a red light, and drove through a crosswalk with a person clearly about to cross the street.
Here's the video:
Here's where the person who posted the video stops at the red light...
... and here's where what appears to be an Uber self-driving car blows right past it.
The cars were being tested with people behind the wheel, so it's possible that a human, not an algorithm, decided to run this particular red light outside San Francisco's MOMA.
In response to the video, Uber spokesperson Matt Kallman said in an email, "Safety is our top priority. These incidents have been reported and we are looking into what happened."
