I mean I was raised under the world of mechanical will always be reliable, and fly by wire is just that...... Guess what I'm saying is we as a society have become sooooo dependent on electronics doing everything for us, the simplest of things have become void to most. |

the headline will influence your opinion if you aren't very objective. this could still be 100% the pedestrian's fault. i'd be interested in seeing what the investigation reveals.

I personal have been driving down a road and saw things which did not seem right and began to slow just in case, some time I am wrong but a number of times I avoid what could have been bad. |

These systems generally are very good at avoid objects in the road, but they can not determine if someone is paying attention and plans to cross into the cross when they should not. System like these have to assume things follow a set of assuming and one of them is humans would not cross in front of moving car. ie people are not stupid. I personal have been driving down a road and saw things which did not seem right and began to slow just in case, sometimes nothing odd happens but a number of times I avoid what could have been bad. One time say kids playing ball in the yard and saw the ball coming towards the street and the ball roll under truck and the kid ran around the opposite of the car from my travel direction and pop out into the street. I had already slowed down and was not any where close to the kid. Do you think these system and figure that out. |

Looks like the lady darted in front of the car which was going below the speed limit.
Media bringing up headlines about the driver being a previous felon as if that bears any relevance. And the media wonders why people don't trust them anymore? This is much ado about nothing. I'm more on the anti-autonomous car side, but I also like to be objective. This was blown out of proportion before the facts came out. |

Report this morning concluded that the woman darted in front of the car, which was actually driving below the speed limit.
The media is putting up headlines about how the driver of the vehicle has a criminal record, as if that bears any relevance. And the media wonders why it is no longer trusted? This was much ado about nothing. |
