Re: Autonomous vehicle safety ignored
If a human driver - even only a learner driver - was put in the same circumstances as the Uber crash, it would not have happened. A human driver would have seen the victim, and either slowed down or manoeuvred the vehicle to avoid a collision.
If you watch the video, then no, a human probably would not have seen the victim until too late. Granted, it didn't seem to be an HDR video, but machine sensors should have detected the pedestrian before human vision in this case.
