Or maybe Uber got unlucky and they had to be suspended. I wonder how many miles they had and every how many miles does an accident happens with human drivers.

- EpicEng 9y agoIt's been posted in related threads, bit many, many more human miles are driven per fatality. The problem is that the number of self driving car incidents is too low to reliably extrapolate out.
- Erlich_Bachman 9y agoWatch the video of the accident. Even though it's dark (llooks to have been manipulated afterwards), you can still judge the actual situations in terms of the position of the lights, and the car and pedestrian - to see that it was obviously the car's fault because it should have seen the pedestrian with the lidar, or if the lidar was deactivated - it should have driven with much lower velocity.
- ggg9990 9y agoUber did not get unlucky -- they are simply an evil company. Their cars need human intervention every 13 miles as opposed to Google's every 5,600 miles -- they were not fit for the road but Uber let them out anyways. Uber should be shut down and the principals should get life without parole.
- crististm 9y agoFair judgment but where did you get those figures from?

- Aspyre 9y agoThe numbers you are comparing do not measure the same thing.
- icebraining 9y agoCare to expand on that?
