Still irrelevant to the OP since early indications state that neither human or self driving car had time to react.

But hey, it's those pesky facts again.

The news said she the cyclist was in the wrong and not where she was supposed to be.

If someone walks on a train track and gets hit, is it the trains fault?

A. It was dark.
B. You'll never know if there were context clues such as a light on the bicycle flashing in the dark that an alert human would have noticed several seconds before or movement they caught out if the corner of their eye prior to the bike rolling out into the road.

The point is the human was not aware the same way a regular driver would be. Who knows what nonsense they would have to do to regain control from the robot even if they WERE paying attention. Even one additional step could be the difference between life and death.

Well, we may very well find that out, no reason to think we'll "never know"

That the human and robot didn't have enough time to react, thus making every post you made in this thread LOL worthy.

i wouldn't trust a self-driving car to successfully navigate a pothole ridden street in NOLA without breaking an axle much less turn one loose on the general population.

the number of things that can go wrong here are astounding.



You appear to be arguing from a well of ignorance dawg, let me help: the sensor arrays combo’d with the software on these cars can already drive circles around you in virtually any test you could throw at it. Not only can they “see” everything you can, but they can see a shitload of stuff you can’t. Your driving skill, cat-like reflexes, and Genious brain have already been insanely surpassed my dude.

Pretty amazing that this dude has been in software development for 30 years and has all these strong opinions without even realizing these cars can have sensors on the left and right side and not just front and back.

Guaranteed this is what was said 110 years ago when the first automobiles started hitting the roads. See how that turned out?

how??? Too late for human observation of the situation prior to the accident.

You can't recreate the billion different things a human brain processes every second.

You're content to say Bike Wrong Robot Right. The End.

I sure as hell don't want to live in your black and white world.

I've read it is like cruise control and one tap on the brakes gives control back...not sure in this situation though.

I'm content going off of reports from experts who know more about this incident than you or myself.

You're content to make up stories to fit your agenda.

That's why you're failing in this thread.

So the humans you advocate for so badly wasn't paying attention(made up on your part)

You're arguing yourself in circles and now trying to tell us how badly the human fricked up while telling us we can't get away from the same human drivers who are texting and playing candy crush.

You do realize you talked your way right into your own personal clusterfrick, right? You keep tellins us your for assisted driving, then bashing assisted driving because the human won't pay attention. Your argument breaks down on multiple levels there.

Are you looking at this from a cyclist's POV? As in, you're worried about how the road can be shared with cyclists and autonomous vehicles?

If so, I think it is a very valid concern and we'd have to make infrastructure changes (bike lanes everywhere) before we adopt these vehicles.

There should also be new laws for cyclists and pedestrians, or at least enforce the ones we have dramatically harder. J-Walking could be deadly with these things, for example.

made up? ok

You're going to die on the cross of humans pay attention 100% the same whether they are driving the car or a robot is.



Why don't you just think about that.

Yes, you made that up, that's a fact. You may end up being right but right now, it is made up factually speaking.

I never said that, not once.

Why would I think about something i never said?

Also remember, these humans that won't pay attention as much with the robot car is exactly what YOU are wanting to see happen. Refer to my comment about you talking yourself in circles.

have you ever driven down 12th into the gulch particularly on a Friday afternoon?

Pretty sure people walking out in front of you..valets darting out in front of you at full speed racing to get a car..pre teen girls taking selfies in front of buildings standing in the road.. drunk bacherloettes stumbling out of pedal taverns..is the norm.

You want to send a robot car into that chassis and then fault everyone struck by the car who wasn't using the crosswalks?

name a single post I made in this thread where I advocate giving control of the vehicle over to a robot. Abs, Auto braking, alerts when a car is in your blind spot... None of the things take away from the human driver being in charge.
