"and thereby hitting the child ... is a success."
> What else to you expect them to do, only run on grade–separated areas where children can't access?
no, i expect them to slow down when children may be present
- direwolf20 9mo agohow slow?
- parl_match 9mo agohow about 10-15 mph if directly adjacent to a school, especially during the bands before and after school stars or ends. route away from schools whenever feasible.
- direwolf20 9mo agoThat's how fast it was going.
- parl_match 9mo agoA vehicle can't go 10 to 15 miles per hour at the same time. If it was going 15, then it should have been going 10. Or driving further away from occluded spaces. And again, routing away from schools. The simple fact is that it hit a child and even though it wasn't a serious issue due to their safety policies, there's still room for improvement in these technologies. And since it's a robot, and not a human, you can actually make changes and have them stick. For example, routing away from schools during certain hours.
