Tech site comment sections are going hard on victim blaming, saying she should have had wheel reflectors and reflective clothing and that 'she was jaywalking' as if that excuses anything. Shouldn't the car detect her whether she was lit up like a Christmas tree or not? This is supposed to be able to stop for a deer bounding into the road, right? And it can't recognise a woman purposefully walking a bike over. I even saw a comment saying 'this looks like a suicide if anything'. Yeah that makes sense, typical suicidal behaviour of walking slowly into a road with a bike so its ghost can join you in the afterlife and give you something to ride around on.
