Wasn't this not a pedestrian, but a cyclist crossing in a completely inappropriate place? Granted an SDC should still react to this while many humans in the same situation would not.
- dekhn 5y agoPedestrian slowly walking a bike, with basically no reflective clothing, on a dark night. This is exactly how humans kill pedestrians with cars all the time.
- gambiting 5y agoSure, but that's also why that specific car was equipped with a radar-based obstacle detection.....which the company specifically disabled. There's a very good chance that this system would have saved that person's life. Also while yes, humans are crap at this, it's very rare that you'd just plow into someone at full speed without even attempting to slow down or swerve - which is exactly what the car did.
