Uber self-driving car death riddle: Was LIDAR blind spot to blame?

"Proper road crossings were two miles either side of where she crossed, if only she had a bike."

At which point, AC demonstrates the car-centric american point of view of the world, with rules that "though shalt ONLY cross at designated points and thou SHALT give way to vehicles" that gave rise to the programming mindset which killed this pedestrian.

A "self driving" vehicle programmed like this would last less than 30 seconds in test mode in any european city before being ordered off the road.

Scratch that - It would never pass the initial hazard testing required to be allowed ON the road in the first place.
