Now I did hear a report she wasn’t in a cross walk. Wonder if Uber had a legal leg to stand on for that.
Also was the driver behind the wheel complacent or did the car not respond to the drivers controls ?
They do have drivers behind the wheel.
Robots are great, but still algorithms have flaws. Just like human being judgement....can’t say I’d ever get into a self driving car that is on public roadways.
Also google used to have self driving cars did they scrap that ?

JESUS HAL STOP RUNNING PEOPLE OVER!!
This lady walked into traffic outside of a crosswalk....you are not going to see positive results from those actions. There are pedestrians killed all the time for doing stupid stuff.
This is the first death and I don't believe there had been any major injuries prior. This in a time span of 5 or so years...not bad.
Check the stats but I’m pretty sure the percentage of drivers that have some form of drug in them is in the 30% range....it’s disgusting
Auto pilot didn’t land that 737 In the Potomac and save lives. THe captain Did. himans are awesome ! Lol. Think I’m gonna go binge watch “people are awesome” YouTube videos now.
Oh I should mention THose nerds were actually trying to do that and could only do it when they were within the blue tooth range. They weren’t trying to wreak havoc....One car had one test subject the other car had hackers. They all knew what they were doing. I gotta dig that article up I think I read it in motor trend waiting in an auto dealer.
Before these cars are commonplace I’m sure they will have dialed in the software to make it as safe as air travel, which is about as safe as it gets
Pit Row
As for me, I will take advantage of having the tiniest bit of control over my own fate, and I will control the car I am riding in myself, for as long as I drive. That, or I'll ride in a car with someone I trust behind the wheel. If the scenario I alluded to above happens to come true in my lifetime and self-driving is outlawed, then I may be forced to make a decision I won't like at all.
I don't believe that AI will ever be able to make a last-ditch effort to survive a crash. Nor will it make a "best-case" decision, like crashing into a telephone pole instead of a schoolbus full of kids.

A Self driving car is not why this woman was killed. You walk out into the street in front of a moving automobile and there’s a good chance you will die....that’s pretty obvious

I’m not sure how you proceed as a pedestrian but I would never start moving on a crosswalk without making visual contact with the driver and make sure they not only see me but they are slowing down. Otherwise it’s suicide. If I saw no driver at all I would be more likely to hold back. People can blame the car all they want but this death is 100% on the victim
