Totally agree - I find it highly disturbing that the Tempe Police Chief described the accident as 'unavoidable' based on their preliminary investigation and the video. Even back of fag packet maths suggest the ped would have been visible for around 6 seconds - way more than enough time need to react and stop from 40mph, let alone just slow down or change direction. Poor quality dashcam footage released to exculpate Uber by muddying the waters as to the accidents avoidability is highly disingenuous.
This is a monumental fuck up by Uber and no doubt the beginning of some serious arse covering by both them and the Arizona governor for failing their duty of care to citizens for the regulation of self driving testing.
Can't believe this isn't regulated at a federal level. I'll take my chances on drunk, stoned CA pickup drivers over this shit.
Yeah been arguing about it on twitter. Fucking cretins.
As I pointed out - she'd crossed an entire lane already, not just jumped off a curb. The car was speeding and the 'safety tosser' was totally oblivious.
