I can't wait to see what happens when these self driving cars encounter heavy rain, icy snow covered roads or even a big pot hole or uneven road construction.... "Lock up the brakes' is not the solution to everything. Do you aim for the guard rail, mini van with kids in it or the smart car with two snowflakes in it? I wonder what Apu's decision tree will be.... I'm sure they have addressed some of this, but no way am I gonna trust my life to a programmer...
Planes can fly themselves - right? Why do they fly into mountains or over/undershoot runways? _________________ Plan B is actually repeating Plan A.... it just involves much more alcohol. Of the ten voices I hear in my head, only three keep telling me NOT to shoot.... Do I go with the majority or common sense? |

Skynet is becoming aware. Just hope it's not bought up by Umbrella Corp.

Since everyone is jumping on the smartass comments here's mine...
Maybe the Autopilot Car hated Bicycles. One way to ensure replacement of the previous Old Timer employee is to make sure the Old Timer doesn't come back to work.

The same thing happens with software, drugs, airplanes, etc. I'm not convinced they've actually done ANY testing. Let's see the videos where they've simulated on a closed course the car navigating around bicyclists? I'm going to guess they haven't tested that. That the first time this car encountered a bicyclist, was on the road. |

Yep, there was no way in hell a normal driver would have avoided that. I doubt a human would have even been able to hit the brakes before hitting her, given reaction time.
No lights on the bike, no reflectors, dark clothing, no street lights. She dead yo. _________________ NO DISASSEMBLE!

Thanks, Jon.
Hmmm. Yeah, the pedestrian is clearly a dumbass . . . but still, I would think that a self-driving car needs to be able to react in that situation. I was under the impression that she had jumped off the sidewalk, but since she was right there in the road, I think the car should be smart enough to deal with that. The "driver" was clearly multitasking, he wasn't much help. _________________ Steve Benefactor Life Member, National Rifle Association Life Member, Second Amendment Foundation Patriot & Life Member, Gun Owners of America Life Member, Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms Legal Action Supporter, Firearms Policy Coalition Member, NAGR/NFGR Please support the organizations that support all of us.

and by looking at the drivers face, she saw the idiot in the same time the lights illuminated her.
now it depends on what the car saw. what type of system was being used to control that specific vehicle. best way to clean seattle streets _________________ Yaki's - last journey Promote a Growth Mindset.

The video is far worse than your eyes would be in the same situation. Look at the video, it's basically undrivable, but of course, that's not what it actually looks like to human eyes.
Check this video out, if you assume that human eyes are only as good as what the camera captures, the only way this crash was avoided, was using telepathy. |

Arizona halts Uber self-driving tests; supplier says Uber disabled Volvo safety system before fatality
http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-uber-pedestrian-technology-20180326-story.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+latimes%2Fbusiness+%28L.A.+Times+-+Business%29 Quote: Also on Monday, the auto-parts maker that supplied the radar and camera on the Volvo SUV that struck and killed the woman last week said Uber had disabled the standard collision-avoidance technology in the vehicle. "We don't want people to be confused or think it was a failure of the technology that we supply for Volvo, because that's not the case," Zach Peterson, a spokesman for Aptiv, said by phone. The Volvo XC90's standard advanced driver-assistance system "has nothing to do" with the Uber test vehicle's autonomous driving system, he said. Aptiv is speaking up for its technology to avoid being tainted by the fatality involving Uber, which may have been following standard practice by disabling other tech as it develops and tests its own autonomous driving system. Experts who saw video of the Uber crash pointed to apparent failures in Uber's sensor system, which failed to stop or slow the car as 49-year-old Elaine Herzberg crossed a street pushing a bicycle. _________________ You may be right, I may be crazy, but it just may be a lunatic you're looking for |
