Re: Cause of Death: Ostrich Algorithm
She might have been stupid to cross the road when/where she did, but it was inexcuseable for self driving car to hit her. Even if it only could see as well as the front facing camera (where she seemed to appear out of nowhere) it should have been able to stop. It didn't even apply the brakes!
I think anyone testing self driving cars involved in an accident so ridiculous as this one should be banned form testing self driving cars on US roads for a period of two years. That would set them far back, thus giving them incentive to be REALLY sure they have things working well in internal testing before they decide they're ready to move onto public roads.
