The person who hit and run the woman in the first place shows this is obviously not true. You think they didn't notice?There was a muni bus who hit a pedestrian a few weeks ago and didn't even notice.
- bombcar 3y agoIf the Cruise had hit and run it might have been better than parking on the woman's leg.
- ironman1478 3y agoExcept it didn't immediately do that. Cruise released a report today saying that the car actually drove 20 feet and dragged the woman. There is no simple answer as to what to do. It's simply difficult and acting like there are easy answers to this is unproductive and imo not in the spirit of hackernews.
- tempestn 3y agoIt's difficult to program an autonomous vehicle to handle this correctly, sure. That doesn't mean an average human driver wouldn't have done better. Of course a human driver wouldn't just keep driving to pull over after hitting a pedestrian and not being able to see where they went.
- smileysteve 3y agoIn some cultures, they have a custom to ensure whoever you hit dies so that you don't pay disability. And the hit and run driver did just drive off
- imp0cat 3y agoAh, the Chinese way. But it is not something we should be loking forward to.
- grogenaut 3y agoThe person who hit and run commuted a felony. Cruise not providing evidence as asked and required by their testing agreement did similar. A muni bus and a car are different. But the big issue is hiding / eliding the data.
- ironman1478 3y agoI agree that hiding data is bad and the company should be punished. I was simply commenting on the fact that people frequently do not stop when running over pedestrians, which the parent comment claimed.
