Get these damn things off the road.
Why werent the brakes applied before, during, or after impact by the cars control system?
...
How do you know they weren’t?
Thank for the cited article. I should have remembered, when lawyers are involved, no one is safe.
Everything is so different in the future.
No one knows what sex they are. Cars are driving around by themselves.
And CNN is a department within the government.
And eggs cost 18 quatloos a dozen!
Which will come first self driving cars or the end times
?
Check out how long electric cars have been around.
Also,I hooked up a 1950’s phone to my land line and the sound quality,and clearity, was amazing.
Put “modern” phones to shame
RE: Its the womans fault. Next question.
You ask for a next question so here it is — Can you elaborate as to why?

The cops have already determined it was her fault based on the videos the autonomous car took before, during and after the woman walked her bike out in front of a moving car.
Somehow I don’t think the job of “sit behind the wheel and don’t do anything unless the car is about to do something really bad” is a high paying gig drawing top shelf candidates.
Its Ubers fault. They own the car. What if it was a 10 year old kid chasing a ball? The women was walking the bike and a human at the wheel would have almost certainly been able to avoid hitting her.
When ya word the job description that way I get it. Still don't like to think the 'do-nothing' driver of the car I get in might be a murderer.
In most states I've been to, pedestrians ALWAYS have the right of way.
What does the car do when you veer out of the lane for defensive driving purposes?
“It will all come out.”
I doubt it. The media will milk anything until it can be explained or creates a smear on their voting base. I believe a guy named Dale Carnegie wrote a book once call “how to make friends and influence people.” The media wrote the book on how to sell papers and keep the voting base and their selected politicians protected.

The women was killed WALKING HER BIKE! Doesn't sound like the technology is quite there yet, unless society is willing to be run over from time to time by a driverless car.
Of course. All that’s necessary is for them to give the driver enough time to see and react.
well, let’s see.
The car had a dummy driver. Dummy in that she was either texting or watching something, looking down. She looked up as she hit the ped.
Female driver is a felon - attempted armed robbery. Thanks uber! Great personnel choice!! Woman was walking her bike across the road and was almost to the curb. The accident was avoidable if the car had moved over one lane.
Pedestrians almost always have the right of way in a contest between 3,000lb auto and 140lb human, for obvious reasons.
So, in other words, he wasn't paying attention. There is no way to hit a pedestrian with the front of your car and not see it happen, unless you weren't paying attention.
The police said there was no sign of slowing or breaking.
