Smarter then me. I bought expensive chef quality knives and learned how to use them since then. MUCH safer and just as fast after you git gud. Now every time a fantasy man or Klingon takes an oath and cuts their hand I get woozy and have to sit down.

Snowglobe of Doom posted:Yeah that's going to end super well if he ever manages to hit one of them. yeah, I once rented a house alongside a straight, wide, recently paved 4-lane road that bikers couldn't keep from riding mile-long 70mph wheelies on. Fun for you if you're on the bike, but not if you live there and hear it every evening. I thought about standing at the edge of the road to mime pulling a rope taut across the lanes... and I also doubted I'd survive pulling that kind of stunt on a pack.

well there is only one death, so the statistics still get safer as time goes on. Plus, those statistics probably include tractor-trailer trucks which average way more miles per death than regular cars driven by non-commercial drivers. If you were to focus on miles-per-death in the areas that Uber will be operating first, like urban/suburban areas (where there are far more people out walking around) then I bet you'd find that already self-driving cars are quite safe even with their 1 single fatality.

An 80-something-year-old instructor at work had this happen years ago. His "thumb" looks squat and triangular compared to a real one.

They released the self-driving car footage, and it's clear the car should have easily seen her with its' lidar and radar: https://twitter.com/TempePolice/status/976585098542833664

She didn’t jump out of a bush. She crossed a full, empty lane at walking pace and anyone who can’t see things like that in the dark, with headlights, shouldn’t be driving. That goes double for computers that can see in the dark.

That’s the kind of video that could end Uber as a "self-driving vehicle" company. I can’t believe the investigators uploaded it. Too bad the markets are closed and you can’t short Uber before morning. Edit never mind they aren’t publicly traded. Pity. bobfather fucked around with this message at 02:46 on Mar 22, 2018 |

Platystemon posted:The woman is hard to see in this video but that’s all the camera’s fault. Yeah, the cars are supposedly equipped with LIDAR which, if anything, would work better in the dark. And she was wheeling a bicycle, so is an even bigger target than a lone person would be. Can't wait for the lawsuits when one of these things charges through a school crossing.

The person crossing the street here did something stupid. I don't think But that's pretty much an ideal setup for the self-driving car to see and avoid an unexpected obstacle in the road. If it couldn't even do that under what's effectively ideal conditions for an unexpected pedestrian, it's kind of a big problem.

Bombadilillo posted:This is not how humans drive. Actually, real humans will brake if there's a pedestrian in front of them, instead of driving full-speed into them. They might lay on the horn a bit if they feel the pedestrian really inconvenienced them, but they're not usually going to attempt to commit vehicular manslaughter.

If your five-year-old crossed without looking and was splattered by an inattentive driver what would your response be? "Oh, okay, I guess"? Blame isn't zero-sum and her crossing the road without checking thoroughly doesn't excuse the murdercar completely failing to notice her and plowing into her at full speed.

not that the car shouldn't have seen her anyways with all it's high-tech bits, but we all probably would have hit that lady too. She was wearing a dark shirt and crossing right outside of the streetlights aura, that's about as bad a situation you can get for crossing a road

It's what you implied until your edit, but fair enough. I'm leery of people assigning blame to victims because it's usually in an effort to reduce the responsibility of the perpetrator.

If there's an object in your path, your headlights should illuminate it in time for you to stop before hitting it. If that's not the case, you're driving too fast for the conditions.
