Re: Autonomous vehicle safety ignored
@John Robson
So yes - there was a driver who was legally in control of the vehicle and managed to kill someone.
You persist in trying to muddy the waters here, and I wonder why?
The supervising driver was at fault, because they were not concentrating on the road, and were not in a position to override the vehicle in time to prevent the accident, but the fact is that the vehicle should have been able to avoid the accident by itself, and didn't.
The circumstances of the accident were not some strange or random edge-case which caught the vehicle's logic out, there was a pedestrian crossing the road, in clear view for many seconds, and the vehicle drove into them without braking or trying to avoid them.
A human driver in manual control of a vehicle would not have behaved in that manner, they would have attempted to avoid the accident in some way.
