>>The pedestrian was outside of the crosswalk. As soon as she walked into the lane of traffic she was struck.
>>Tempe Police Chief Sylvia Moir said that from viewing videos taken from the vehicle “it’s very clear it would have been difficult to avoid this collision in any kind of mode (autonomous or human-driven) based on how she came from the shadows right into the roadway.
A lot of comments on here are faulting machine learning for this or algorithmic flaws, but unless we see the video it is really hard to blame the algorithms. Based on the quote from the story, it sounds like someone stepped out into the street, not in the crosswalk, at night, directly in front of a car going 40 miles per hour. How could a human or any algorithm cope with that scenario?
