quote:

SAN FRANCISCO � A woman in Tempe, Ariz., died after being hit by a self-driving car operated by Uber, in what appears to be the first known death of a pedestrian struck by an autonomous vehicle on public roads.

The Uber vehicle was in autonomous mode with a human safety driver at the wheel when it struck the woman, who was crossing the street outside of a crosswalk, the Tempe police said in a statement. The episode occurred overnight, although the authorities did not specify whether it was late Sunday or early Monday. The woman was not publicly identified.

An Uber spokeswoman said the company was �fully cooperating� with the local authorities. The company said it had suspended testing of its self-driving cars in Tempe, Pittsburgh, San Francisco and Toronto.

You must be playing one of the inferior later editions

The canonical UT killstreak is double kill - multi kill - UL TRA KILL - M-M-M-M-MON STER KILL KILL kill kill _kill

snipe bots on facing worlds. as long as you keep chaining headshots it counts as a single multi-kill, and bots just keep running out into it.

Yeah when I was like 14 my buddy and I would set it up on facing worlds with 8 bots on the blue team and just the player on red and see who could keep it up the longest

Gets real tricky when you run out of ammo and have to keep going to get more then back up to the roof

or the computer calculated that if it didn't kill that pedestrian, it would allow harm to come to humanity

the trick was to play on 125% speed, and then own all your friends on normal speed.

Pay attention to this light. It is a green light 100% of the time according to X criteria, but incorrectly displays green instead of red 1% of the time. Your job is to be there when it incorrectly displays green instead of red and manually correct it. Good luck!!

better yet, Fox News is reporting that the safety driver was, in typical uber fashion, a felon. attempted armed robbery. :lol:

its almost as though they most likely targeted felons to be their driver seat occupants, knowing that they could spin it as a "She was NO ANGEL" thing when they inevitably gently caress up.

its incredibly ok and cool to discriminate against and abuse felons in modern America

the video is out. there is absolutely no way competent code with lidar inputs should not have detected that poor fuckin woman. literally revoke the steam accounts of all devs involved
