Meanwhile, it's a different story for the Dean of the School of Computer Science - Carnegie Mellon, Reuters reports. While the professor acknowledges that this would be a wonderful breakthrough if it ever succeeds. Andrew Moore sees that this could be a way to have a "much safer world" and one that is efficient enough to drive people around using less energy. However, the professor doubts that Uber "has it in" them. Moore believes that at least a decade of tedious development and research is needed to perform such goal of bringing out fully independent vehicles.

There will be no need to worry for Uber unemployment due to these self-driving cars to independently operate themselves without the use of a human driver. Uber, through its official newsroom, sees that new technology brings promise of creating even more work opportunities. And also, the self-driving cars will still make use of "human intervention" in particular scenarios like bad weather.

The trial period will include two Uber personnels to join the riders. One will be behind the wheels and the other one with a laptop, to account the flow of the ride, will take the passenger seat. Also, these personnels will ensure the safety of the passenger and the newly launched Uber technology.
