You should thank uber for taking that lawless criminal off or streets.

Ungrateful bitch.

Maybe slam in the brakes or swerve at least! Heck, there are even street lights where the person is walking.


Hypothetical: you are in a driverless car, and someone walks into the road. The car can either hit the person, or swerve into a ditch, possibly killing you. What are cars going to be programmed to do in these situations?

I would program the vehicle to simply apply maximum safe braking in a straight line.

In this real case,at only 40mph both the driver and the radar/lidar should have easily avoided this accident. The dark video makes it seem she just appeared out of nowhere.

Drive tonight at 40mp on a street with no oncoming traffic. Easily avoidable.

Yep. Not sure that could have been avoided.

All the people acting like this driverless technology is just around the corner to being in widespread use are silly.
