Are Uber Self Driving Taxis headed To Buffalo and Western New York?
There are strong feelings, for and against Uber, and for and against self driving vehicles. Uber is a step closer to Buffalo as it will begin testing driverless vehicles in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

The technology of driverless cars is complex, but part of it includes reading lane separation lines for traffic lanes, lines which are obscured in snowy conditions.
