A self-driving car owned by Uber was involved in an accident yesterday morning which resulted in the death of a pedestrian. As the investigation continues, Uber has grounded its entire fleet of self-driving cars until further notice. Toyota, the car manufacturer that just until a few days ago was said to be in negotiations to source self-driving car technology from Uber, has now decided to stop testing its self-driving cars on public roads as well.
Toyota has confirmed that it’s halting the tests of its “Chauffeur” self-driving tech on public roads in the United States in the wake of yesterday’s fatal accident. The car was in autonomous mode at the time of the accident and had a human safety driver behind the wheel.
“Because we feel the incident may have an emotional effect on our test drivers, we have decided to temporarily pause our Chauffeur mode testing on public roads,” said a spokesman for the company in a statement provided to Bloomberg, adding that Toyota can not speculate on the cause of yesterday’s crash or what it might mean for the future of autonomous cars.
Toyota has been testing its self-driving cars on public roads in Michigan and California. It has only put out a small number of cars on public roads so that they can be rapidly updated as the technology improves.

Sprint Releases Oreo For LG V30
Posted in: Today's Chili
The LG V30 received its Android 8.0 Oreo update on Verizon over a week ago and now Sprint has started rolling out said update on its network. Verizon released Android 8.0 Oreo for the LG V30 on March 11th and Sprint is doing that today. The carrier is rolling out the update over-the-air so users should expect to get an update notification on their handsets in the near future.
Sprint has released software version LS99820a for the LG V30 on its network which upgrades the core Android version to 8.0 Oreo and brings all of the features that are part and parcel of this release. The update also brings subtle user interface improvements while enhancing stability and performance.
It’s not surprising to see that the update weighs in at 1.7GB since it brings the latest iteration of Google’s mobile platform. While the Oreo update that Verizon released for this device had the February security patch, the version that Sprint’s rolling out appears to have the latest security patch for the month of 2018.
LG V30 owners on Sprint should keep an eye out for that over-the-air update notification today as the rollout has now begun. It should only be a matter of time before the update lands on all units.
