You don't even have any information about the situation, you're just fear mongering.


I'm not sure what you mean by no oversight, these companies have licenses with the locations they operate. If they are found unsafe their rights to operate are revoked.

If your standard is to have autonomous cars be perfect it's not going to happen, it's a stupid thing to expect, at least at first. But I can guarantee you that an autonomous vehicle will do better than the vast majority of drivers on the road and I trust technology more than I do some rando on the road.


A hydrophobic coating is worth its price in blood!

I mean we have the information necessary, that there was a human safety driver. We also can reasonably assume that being a glorified passenger and back up driver does not require you to pay as much attention to your surroundings as actively operating a vehicle does. You're hust mad people are saying bad words about Uber

Neither did the human. You can post some conspiracy theory that he was taking a nap or playing a gameboy or something instead of doing his job but with the information we have now neither the computer nor the person paid to watch the road for this stuff made any reaction.

It's not a conspiracy theory to think that they weren't paying attention in the same way they would have been if they were actively driving, dipshit. Nobody is saying they were doing anything they weren't supposed to, just that sitting mostly passively isn't conducive to having lightning reflexes when something actually happens

If the woman stepped out in a way that required lightning reflexes to avoid that is a very different story than if the car austin powers steamrollered her because self driving cars were fake all along and this finally exposes it.

Yes because it's far more likely that she was trying to put herself under the wheels and stepped in front of a car doing forty that was close enough that they wouldn't have time to even apply brakes

You realize "like a flash" is a colloquial term that just means "I didn't realize it was about to happen until it was happening" and not "actually it was physically impossible for anyone including a computer to respond in time" right

Me: the inherent passivity of being a safety driver instead of being actively engaged in driving and paying attention to the road combined with the time necessary to switch to manual mode makes safety drivers not really a great failsafe

You: the driver in the car is very inconvenient to my narrative so I need to remove him via some weird handwavy claim that the accident happened in a time scale where the car should have reacted but didn't but a driver in the car couldn't possibly react but then a driver in a non self driving car definitely could have reacted.

Like what are you claiming that time range is? That seems extremely specific and narrow.

How is reaction time for something you're passively vs actively engaged in a handwave oocc, and why do you keep strawmanning people as blaming the human in the car

I think people aren't blaming the driver, because they know that it was likely an unavoidable accident (or a negligent test driver) and are trying to cook up some extra contrived situation where you can't blame the driver in the car but can still blame the car. So they have to be sure that the accident took place in the ultra thin number of milliseconds where a non-negligent but not engaged test driver could not have stopped things and can not be blamed but that if a real driver was in the car he would have saved the day.

It's clear you're just getting off on death cars murdering pedestrians! What an rear end in a top hat! /s

It's weird how neither of you can get your heads around there being a difference between passive and active engagement and a corresponding response time without it being a conspiracy theory or some insane strawman poo poo that nobody has said, instead of engaging with what they're actually saying, and also not making a million excuses for why it's not bad that someone was hit by a robocar

The conspiracy theory is your certainty that you are somehow sure that this is a case where that thin difference between active and inactive engagement is what lead to the death because you can't have it be that the time was so short that no one could have done anything regardless but you can't have it be so long that someone was being negligent at their job. So you have to believe the accident happened in the exact 100 ms where the driver isn't at fault but could have stopped it if he had been active driving.

You don't know what a conspiracy theory is, which is unsurprising because you're just dumb as poo poo.

I get told all the time "your anecdote means nothing, the numbers are the numbers" on this very forum, and that's what this single data point is: an anecdote. Now, if this sort of thing continues to happen, and at a verifiably higher rate than the Average Human DriverTM? Then, yes, that's cause for concern and debate, but at the moment, using this one very tragic but statistically irrelevant event to declare "SELF-DRIVING VEHICLES ARE NOT AND NEVER BE VIABLE WE SHOULD END ALL SUCH RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT IMMEDIATELY IN LIGHT OF THIS TRAGEDY" strikes me as chicken little-y and kind of disingenuous.

I mean, for example, I personally believe more and more humans-in-spaceships exploration of space is more and more a R&D dead-end, but you don't see me using the Challenger and Columbia tragedies as my evidence for why all human space travel needs to be shuttered ASAP.

Do you also handwave those away as being totally unavoidable and actually not a problem with shuttle design

“We don’t need redundant brakes & steering, or a fancy new car, we need better software,” then-Google engineer Anthony Levandowski wrote in an email to Larry Page in January 2016. “To get to that better software faster we should deploy the first 1000 cars asap. I don’t understand why we are not doing that. Part of our team seems to be afraid to ship.” Shortly thereafter, Levandowski would leave to found his own self-driving trucking company, which was quickly acquired by Uber.

...

New York Magazine once attributed Levandowski as saying, “I’m pissed we didn’t have the first death,” to a group of Uber engineers after a driver died in a Tesla on autopilot in 2016. (Levandowski has denied ever saying it).
