Wierdrider 187 Posted March 21, 2018 A Uber autonomous vehicle just killed a 49 year old lady walking her bicycle across the street in Arizona. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-03-20/video-shows-woman-stepped-suddenly-in-front-of-self-driving-uber Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robertaccio 406 Posted March 21, 2018 can you say..... mega LAWSUIT..... .I'm sure the sharks are circling hoping to get onto that case. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tntmo 887 Posted March 21, 2018 It will be interesting, I'm sure the autonomous car has all kinds of video/telemetry/tracking information. Just from what I have read, the pedestrian stepped out in front of a moving car. An autonomous car probably has a better reaction time than a human at the wheel (drinking coffee, sending a text, drunk/high, etc). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mikey777 44 Posted March 23, 2018 Saw the video on CNN. The bike appears out of nowhere. Even if the driver was looking, which she clearly wasn't, I don't know if she could have avoided the impact. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
