Self-driving car crash kills pedestrian
The first pedestrian death from a self-driving car crash incident was recorded last month when the vehicle didn't stop when a human entered its path. The 49-year-old woman was walking across the street at night in a poorly lit area and not at a designated crosswalk.
Video released from inside the car shows the safety operator appeared to look at something inside the vehicle and not at the road at the time of the incident. Uber has temporarily suspended its self-driving program.
Recent figures suggest 94 percent of crashes involve some form of driver error or impairment immediately before impact and 4 in every 11 crashes that occur could potentially be avoided if distractions were eliminated.
Are you for the introduction fo self-driving cars or would you prefer to trust a human incontrol of a car?
Is it possible the pedestrian had suicidal thoughts? Having a self drive car and doing the driving? Isnt that a lot like having a guard dog and doing the barking??
