IMHO this has little to do with jaywalking.
All sorts of hazards can come up in the road, such as children running into the street, deer or other animals.
This scenario was bound to happen given that auto-breaking was disabled and the human driver was playing with their phone instead of paying attention to the road, which was the whole reason they were in the car.
- w0m 7y ago> given that auto-breaking was disabled Only the Volvo auto-breaking was disabled; the Uber software/hardware itself should have handled the situation fine.
- ghostly_s 7y agoAgreed; my thanks to whomever removed the politicizing term "jaywalker" from the submission title, but more importantly shame on the NTSB for using it in this report. Whether or not she was breaking a street-crossing law is entirely irrelevant to the drivers obligation of due diligence.
