To all that say it's not the fault of the driver (be it human or computer) please, remember, that for every collision there is many, many near misses that were avoided because the driver was paying attention and took necessary actions to avoid collision regardless of whether he had or had not the right of way. The right of way is not a permission to plow into other road users. What if your kid jumps suddenly on the street, would you be ok if the driver excercised his right of way? If AIs are allowed to drive they are expected to perform to avoid collisions (and especially with slow moving objects like pedestrians). This was supposed to include devices like lidars which were supposed to perform better than human driver could hope to do. The added information and reaction time was supposed to offset relative dumbness of the driver. Now we are learning that the car is only operating on what seems a visual spectrum camera and doesn't seem to be reacting in a simplest situation and the driver isn't even looking at the road. So the car was supposed to start breaking IMMEDIATELY the threat is recognized. I don't see hard braking on the video. I see a human driver taking her eyes from what seems to be a phone to recognize the situation and NO DECELERATION THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE IMMEDIATELY EVIDENT. Shame on you, Uber.
