PITTSBURGH — It's been eight months, but Uber is getting back on the streets of Pittsburgh with its self-driving cars.
There are some strict guidelines Uber must follow, one of which is its self-driving cars cannot be on the road when the weather is bad.

Uber told Channel 11 the program will resume under strict and safer guidelines.
Uber announced this week that it is resuming their self-driving car tests nearly nine months after a woman in Arizona was killed by one while walking with a bike across a street.
"Before any vehicles are on public roads, they must pass a series of more than 70 scenarios without safety-related failures on our test track."
Some of the detailed improvements include:
- Two operators in vehicles for all testing.
- Better detection and tracking of pedestrians and cyclists.
- Cars can only be used during good weather.
- Self-driving cars cannot pick up customers.
