Oh it's her fault she was jay walking and the robots now take precedence. No need to ticket jay walkers! Uber's fleet will take care of these law breakers! R

Ridiculous and this company after all it's done is still around and now it's killing people!

- akkat 9y agoI assure you that if you jump in front of a moving train you will be killed. How is this different?
- princeb 9y agocars are not trains, for one. road usage is shared among cars, motorcycles and scooters, trucks, pedestrians, bicycles, mobility scooters, and other things.
- akkat 9y agoTrain tracks are also shared at train crossings. Yet if a car went there after the warning lights went on, the car would be to blame.
- petee 9y agoSo autonomous vehicles should come with flashing warning lights every where they go? Also, trains don't change lanes, or stop quickly. Its simply a bad analogy.
- akkat 9y agoYou are right, a better analogy would be if a person tried to cross in the middle of a random track segment. The woman didn't cross at a crosswalk so that part of road was not designated to pedestrians at all. Cars (at lease autonomous ones) signal before changing lanes and slowing down. I think that flashing lights is too annoying, but forcing cars that drive in the night to have lights sounds like a reasonable (and existent) rule.
- cesarb 9y agoThe main difference is that a train, even under emergency braking, can't stop quickly, and it also can't swerve to avoid an obstacle. If you jump in front of a moving train, even if the train driver could see you before you jumped and could predict you would jump, you will get hit.
- petee 9y agoit'll be a matter of time before autonomous manufactures push to outlaw pedestrians and bicyclists from roadways as a 'safety measure'
