From the article:
> The car was operating in its autonomous mode at the time of the crash, but that didn’t stop the human driver from slamming on the breaks when he spotted the oncoming van. Unfortunately, his reaction was a little too slow.
Is this just speculation, or is it confirmed that the car did not act optimally by itself once the van could be seen running the red light?
- duskwuff 10y agoOr is it possible that the car would have accelerated to avoid the van if the driver had not intervened?
