The first court cases where someone purposefully throws themselves in front of a moving self driving car will be interesting. Obviously I hope this never happens, but it's inevitably going to happen at some point. Hopefully the sensors are gong to be good enough to be able to save those individuals with no injuries. Though I guess from the car's perspective, this is identical to an animal or child darting into traffic, so this will have to be accounted for in some capacity anyway.
- btown 9y agoIs there training data for suicidal pedestrians? Does it even happen often enough for a vision network to pick up on those queues?
- Sharlin 9y agoPeople purposefully jumping in front of (slowly) moving cars is enough of a problem in some parts of the world that basically every car has a dashcam now. Not suicidally though but trying to get compensation.

- Sharlin 9y agoWell, the sensor system in a self-driving car conveniently fills the role of a dashcam as well. Logged sensor data will make many accident investigations much easier.
- yellow_postit 9y agoWhat if as the owner of the car I don't want the sensor data released? Will self driving vehicles move toward a (much of) software like model where we only are getting a temporary license and some other entity can change the rules out from underneath? I'm really excited for self driving cars, this is just one more of the many interesting legal/social questions I look forward to seeing debated.
