This is Waymo's description of the incident: "An oncoming large truck progressed through the intersection in our direction and then, at our turn to proceed, we moved into the intersection," Waymo said in a statement provided to The Standard. "The cyclist was occluded by the truck and quickly followed behind it, crossing into the Waymo vehicle’s path. When they became unoccluded, our vehicle applied heavy braking but was not able to avoid the collision." That sure makes it sound unavoidable. But, would a human driver have seen the cyclist earlier and inferred they were behind the truck? Would a human driver have taken the turn slower because they could not see around the truck? If I were the cyclist I sure would not count on such careful drivers, but there could be lessons in this about AV technology.
