Strategist saysSniper saysSelf driving cars will NEVER be able to navigate all the crazy that takes place on the roadway every day. Cruising across empty highways in Wyoming, maybe, but NEVER in an urban environment..
Never underestimate technology.
Fine.
When do you predict self-driving cars will the mainstream in downtown LA?
"The victim did not come out of nowhere. She's moving on a dark road, but it's an open road, so lidar (laser) and radar should have detected and classified her" as human, Bryant Walker Smith, a University of South Carolina law professor who studies autonomous vehicles, tells The Associated Press.
"It absolutely should have been able to pick her up," Sam Ambuelsmaid, an analyst at Navigant Research who follows self-driving technology, tells the AP. "From what I can see in the video, it sure looks like the car is at fault, not the pedestrian."
Before seeing the clip I imagined she had just stepped off the curb coming from the right.
What if the car travels through a bad neighborhood, I know in some areas I have been forced to go through I leave 10 feet between my car and the car in front of me at stops so I don’t get trapped in ghetto areas.
It's very disappointing that the machine didn't detect her. This was a very non-chaotic scenario and it had plenty of time to establish a pattern of a moving object, and perfect line of sight. Failure in such a simple scenario makes me really doubt ubers tech. This is exactly the type of scenario where the machine should surpass the human by orders of magnitude.
Strategist saysA stupid woman does not bother to look at cars coming towards her at night, and it's the car's fault?
What if it was a stupid kid chasing a ball into the street from behind a car?

That's an accident.
A stupid woman does not bother to look at cars coming towards her at night, and it's the car's fault? LOL.
Would you say the same if a child slowly walked across the street and an inattentive driver splattered him? The driver coulda (and should have) prevented it, but hey, dumb kid's fault, right?
These cars should not be allowed out without a squeegee detection device and squeegee guy bumper bar.
