Uber self-driving car kills Arizona woman, dealing a blow to a feverish movement

 

SAN FRANCISCO — An Uber self-driving car hit and killed a woman in Tempe, Ariz., Sunday night, according to local police.

The Uber car was in self-driving mode when the accident occurred, but had a safety driver at the wheel as is the norm when testing autonomous vehicles.

The woman, who has not been named, was crossing outside the designated crosswalk at about 10 p.m. when she was hit, police said.

So....the "safety driver" didn't see the pedestrian? Isn't that why they're there?

Failure is the soil in which innovation grows. It wasn't hard to see this coming. But things will get fixed, things will get better and change and Technology will do what they always do, march on. Albeit maybe not as quickly as some had projected or as feverishly as others had anticipated.

 

Now, cue the Breathless over-reaction.

You people don't want self driving cars in the near future. Trust me on this.

A buddy I used to drive with could predict an Asian woman driver with uncanny accuracy.

Imagine how the safety assistant guy or whatever behind the wheel feels. Dude basically just watched a murder happen kinda sorta by his own vehicle. In fact Ill bet he was driving and made up the self driving mode story to get out of it. No it wasnt me, the car was in self driving mode so Im not liable!

So self driving cars assume people crossing streets have common sense? It should probably avoid ghettos although I'm certain it's probably got those parameters locked in.

I bet you're right. Didn't the story like that minus the whole Death part already happened? Dude blamed the car, then it turned out it was the dudes fault.

I remember when Houston got its so-called light rail. Every time there's a wreck they talked about investigating to see who is at fault. Gee, I don't know the thing that can't swerve? The thing the triggers lights and bells every time it comes to a intersection?

 

Yeah I'm sure its at fault.

 

 

Remember how blind people were all pissed off when the Prius came out because they couldn't hear it coming?

Another low skill wage being replaced by technology. I think we should bring more low skilled workers into the country.

Without knowing where she crossed, or the conditions, people who cross the street like the driver will see them and slow if needed, they deserve to get hit.

27 people will die today at the hands of a drunk driver but driverless cars are a danger.

Yes, both are a danger.

Man, that has gotta suck. She made history as the first person ever killed by a self driving car and she doesn't even get to celebrate. Maybe they'll put it on her tombstone.

It's more fun to take it right out of his ass and put it straight in to your Mom's mouth.
