Basic analysis of the crash has shown that the woman was crossing right-to-left and the car hit her on its left side, meaning that the car failed to detect her even as she passed completely in front of the vehicle and was on her way out. a human-sized target pushing a large metal object.

Of course this is the Maricopa county police we're talking about

Humans have terrible reaction times so we should expect and accept that computers should be even worse at the task, for some reason.

she just darted out of the darkness like a deer and flung herself and her giant cart of groceries in front of the car fast enough to almost make it across before anyone could have had time to react, so she went like, 10 feet within a really generous human reaction time of ~400ms, meaning she was pushing that cart upwards of 17mph

clearly uber is the real victim here, of this terrorist rocket-propelled grocery lady

the "fault" argument seems to hinge on "shouldn'ta been standing there"

i.e. the car did nothing to avoid plowing into her, but it's her fault for being on the road in the first place. which, to be fair, is roughly the standard applied to every other case of vehicular manslaughter ever

The police said that the vehicle was traveling 38 miles per hour in a 35 mile-per-hour zone, according to the Chronicle—though a Google Street View shot of the roadway taken last July shows a speed limit of 45 miles per hour along that stretch of road.

that's assuming the car even registered her. she's not shaped like the back end of another car, so it may not have even "seen" her

Well this is special.

Researchers from the RWTH Aachen University, Germany found that around 1,600 files were currently stored in bitcoin’s blockchain. Of the files least eight were of sexual content, including one thought to be an image of child abuse and two that contain 274 links to child abuse content, 142 of which link to dark web services.

without even clicking on it i'm gonna call it right now: no files are "stored" on the bitcoin blockchain, the only thing there is links to files. i even remember years ago when the bitcoiners were all doing stuff like "if we put CP on the blockchain governments will hiss and recoil like it's poison and leave us alone!" and they couldn't figure out how to do it beyond links

e: *clicks* ding ding ding

they managed to get one actual piece of CP into the blockchain and the rest is links

to be fair they can only detect the back of a car if its moving, they have to filter out the backs of stopped cars because they cant tell the difference between those and overhead road signs

Ian Tregilli's The Alchemy Wars does this, all robots alchemical golems are required to get a naval overlay when they travel by sea (because compulsively protecting humans in the short term can sink the ship in the long term), but the details of the nautical geas prioritizes shareholder value over passenger life.

the best portrayal of self-driving cars in fiction is still Version Control, where the driver panickedly touching the steering wheel in the instant before the collision transfers control and legal liability from the self-driving AI to the passenger, and this fact is very carefully recorded in the black box
