Woman Killed By An UBER Self Driving Car

did the self driving cops show up?

the self driving ambulance?

the self driving attorney?

 

I can't wait to see how this lawsuit works itself out. It'll be very interesting to see who is ultimately at fault in this death.

 

They will blame the driver as usual, he wasnt looking at the road for sure but still those things have radars, it should locate and hit the brakes way before the impact

 

So would a driver have been able to avoid the collision? If technology is going to control vehicles it should be superior to human drivers. Otherwise whats the point.

 

Pedestrian is at fault-not in a crosswalk and wearing all black at night.
Car was traveling at 40mph, even if they did see her, not enough time to stop.

 

Which is another issue. Why was the car doing 38 in a 35mph zone? Heck if it was doing the legal speed limit or less, it would not have been there to hit her.

As for the not enough time to stop... Well Uber released a video of the wreck. 1.5 second untill one can see the pedestrian to impact. Only problem is some guy in a tech fourm I frequent ran the video through an image editor. Seem all the black shades were flatlined to max. Meaning the video was altered to make the shadows a human would have seen go away.

 

Day or night it doesnt matter for radars.

 

She jaywalked at night. Just like 100's of other idiots do.

As much as I hate Uber, Tesla, et al this would be a non story if a human had done it.
