Given there are no obstructions in the road, LIDAR (or even the decent cameras from the sensor array on top) would obviously show her on a clear collision path many seconds before impact.
So I guess this is the ultimate litmus test if the culture at Uber has changed. They let this video stand and I don't personally think they should be allowed to drive another metre autonomously on public roads.

- brainwad 9y agoThis is Uber we're talking about. They ran a red light while self-driving, shrugged it off and kept going. They had a team whose job was to avoid regulation by blacklisting the credit cards of police. I would be shocked if Uber does anything other than the bare minimum of apologising.
