  • Uber unlikely to blame for self-driving car fatality, says police chief

    From the article:

    "Apple is ramping up its own self-driving car initiative, with up to 45 such cars on the road in California, the Financial Times reported Tuesday. It's unclear whether the fatality in Arizona will impact those plans in any way."

    I blieve that it is perfectly legal in CA to "test" an autonomous car without a human driver in the vehicle. At the very least they bloodly well can put a human watchdog on them... they sure as hell have an overabundance of money to do that.

    Since this story of the fatality broke, I read there WAS a human in the vehicle. So was he distracted in some way, shape or form (I'd put money that 25k+ of the traffic fatalities that happen every year stem from distracted drivers)? OTOH, if the BEST, most focused driver as dringing down the street and someone abruptly darts out, they could get hit. Far as I know, there were cameras all around this car, so we SHOJLD be able to see a video of extactly what the human did see...
