The Uber self-driving car was actually a Volvo -- its logs show that the Volvo emergency braking system had detected a pedestrian crossing almost 2 seconds before the collision. It would've initiated emergency braking, but Uber had disabled this feature, since, of course, they were testing their own shitty self-driving software. The Uber software chose to take no action, the Uber employee at the wheel was apparently paying no attention, and Uber had disabled the Volvo software, the only agent involved that actually thought it would be a good idea to pay attention and try not to kill a woman with a bike on a dark night. Uber shouldn't be allowed to test their software on public roads in my opinion.
