There is exceptional negligence on their part. The fact that vehicle was just blithely travelling the posted speed limit, even at night, even though the speed violated it's assured clear ahead ability, is a damning point. The vehicle will operate unsafely in it's default configuration.

- modo_mario 6y agoDid this person know he should have taken over when the car was respecting the speedlimit but still going faster than it should have been going? I go the speedlimit at night as well. But here in Belgium where there's so much street-lighting it might as well be day How much slower was the car supposed to go for it's sensors and was it all the guys responsibility even if he knew Uber apparently disabled the auto-braking due to issues and didn't pause roadtests?
- goodluckchuck 6y ago> Did this person know he should have taken over when the car was respecting the speedlimit but still going faster than it should have been going? Yeah, and how was the driver even supposed to know how fast the car should have been driving? I know how fast I should driving because I know how far I can see, but the car had LIDAR / Radar / night vision / etc. If the speed limit is 45MPH and the car is going 45MPH, what reason did the driver have to think that the car couldn't see? Either the driver can rely on the car to "see" or they can't.
