Jay walking can be fatal

[Reno89519]

As you mentioned jay-walking, I did a quick search. Tempe police says "the woman was walking outside of the crosswalk overnight near Mill Avenue and Curry Road when she was struck by a self-driving Uber". Does this mean she was walking along the road or crossing the road. A bit ambiguous.

Say there was an operator behind the wheel. Will they get the blame?

Jay walking can be fatal

I've never seen jaywalking like I've seen driving in the 'hood.

Growing up, "jaywalking" was waiting until traffic was clear and then crossing at a crosswalk while the "no crossing" light was flashing.

And then there's jaywalking in the 'hood, which is roughly defined as walking out in the middle of busy streets typically 100 feet away from a proper crosswalk because you just don't give a f***, walking down the middle of busy streets, walking out in front of cars doing 50 mph forcing them to slam on their brakes (and you'd better because if you hit a jaywalker in the 'hood, 50 people will jump out of the shadows, pull you from your vehicle, and beat you to death).

In the 'hood, jaywalking is a sport!

Yep. At this point we don’t know whose fault it was or whether the accident would have still likely happened if a human had been driving.
