    Police have released video from a self-driving Uber crash that killed a pedestrian. The fatality has raised questions over how thoroughly Uber screens its drivers http://cbsn.ws/2HVGRtm pic.twitter.com/52UztpSx4y

        While this I tragic, the pedestrian was not wearing the correct clothing nor was the bike illuminated enough. Don't wear dark clothes at night when you are riding bikes and make sure you have reflective panels on if you do.

        The only other thing would be to make sure that the riders of self-driving cars are not pre-occupied on phones, reading or other activities. Having said that, I do not believe that the rider or even the car is at fault in this case. The cars sensors couldn't see her in the dark

        Because she wasn't properly wearing safety clothing.

        The cars lidar system is designed to recognize pedestrians no matter how much light there is. That's the point of the system. Also, uber apparently turned off the stock safety braking sensors in the Volvo that would have tried to brake.

        And the more of these cars there are, the bigger the chances of computer error instead. Plus a loss of driving jobs.

        So from the looks of it, the person wasn't illuminated well enough for the car to see. I am unsure if I would have been able to react quickly enough - it might be the video quality but I did not see that person until they were actually hit...

        Yes I agree. In the video that poor woman only appears when she is about to get hit

        It might be just the video but if it isn't, I doubt anyone could have reacted quickly enough. Sad that she died though and I feel mildly bad for watching a video of her death...

        Anybody could have hit this lady! She’s walking across the street in the dead of night with no reflectors on, I think y’all making it big because it’s uber. But my condolences to her family but this lady should have been wearing REFLECTORS #uberaccident

        Until we see the logs from the computer systems, Uber doesn't get a pass on this. Remember - just as our eyes see a lot more than what's in the headlights, AVs use more than just camera visual technologies.

        That's one of the problems that AV tech has to deal with - people, and animals, are capable of doing random things which the tech has to be able respond to.

        Assigning fault isn't the goal here - it's understanding precisely the limits of the sensor suite, and the supporting software. This is an emerging technology, it's important to understand _why_ the behaviour happened.

        We already know that in these situations, the odds are against the driver being "fully engaged on task" because the AV is doing the actual driving. Reaction times would be many times normal for an engaged driver. They get a pass from me.

        @Uber is responsible for this. Radar technology does not need lighted roads, it can pickup objects in pitch black or bright day out.
