[SystemSafety] Uber "self-driving" cars run red lights on Day 1

Apparently Uber introduced "self-driving" cars in San Francisco and on the first day of operation
there was more than one instance noted by witnesses of such vehicles running a red light.

Uber says it was "human error".

I guess we can expect such semi-contradictory statements about such operations when they go wrong.
When they go right, it'll be "the car is driving itself".

Uber thinks it doesn't need a permit to operate the vehicles. The California Department of Motor
Vehicles apparently disagrees and says Uber does need a permit.
