Putting a prototype self-driving car on actual roads without understanding the difficulty of that project seems like a legitimate, substantive criticism, and I don't care how many people are involved in the project.

Now, that's a very valid criticism. I don't care about his personality, but testing the car on live roads is asinine. And, this journalist jumps in and excitedly plays up how he was afraid for his life, etc.

Yeah, instead of going after the sensationalism, how about you discourage him from endangering the lives of others who weren't given the opportunity to make such a stupid decision?
