I'm surprised the vehicle didn't detect an object moving into its field of view. What are the expectations from the driver under the terms of Arizona's self-driving car laws? Are they expected to remain engaged as a driver, or are they permitted to allow the car to perform all of the driving? It's impossible to say whether an attentive drive would have changed the outcome of this scenario -- largely because a highly compressed video doesn't really convey what the driver actually was capable of seeing, but it's very clear from the video that the driver was more focused on a phone (or some other device) and was not an active participant in driving the vehicle.
- danso 9y agoI'm definitely interested in the legal expectations too. If it turns out LIDAR completely dropped the ball here, it might not be the case (given AZ's lax rules) that Uber would be penalized for LIDAR that was substandard. Presumably, there'd be regulations for software too, classifiers and AI decision making. Has any jurisdiction set standards in this?
