Perhaps, but the pedestrian also did not react at all to the car. Even though she knew she was crossing a street and should look for cars, see the headlights, hear the engine, etc.
- theclaw 9y agoThe pedestrian was a homeless person. I don't mean to be insensitive but there's a chance she wasn't in a condition to recognise the danger of what she was doing. Regardless, it is the driver's responsibility to perceive and avoid hazards like this and I think that would've been pretty easy given it's a big wide empty road with overhead lighting. This looks like the kind of bad low light footage my cheap dashcam produces in similar conditions.
- taneq 9y agoFor better or worse, it's not the pedestrian on trial here. It's the self-driving vehicle which completely failed to register a significant obstacle directly in front of it for nearly two seconds. There is no scenario where this is an acceptable response from a control system in charge of a 1500kg projectile in a shared public space.
