[QUOTE="MAKAVELI, post: 3420914, member: 43825"] There's always more to the story. [URL="https://arstechnica.com/cars/2018/03/police-chief-uber-self-driving-car-likely-not-at-fault-in-fatal-crash/"]Police chief: Uber self-driving car “likely” not at fault in fatal crash[/URL] The chief of the Tempe Police has [URL='https://www.sfchronicle.com/business/article/Exclusive-Tempe-police-chief-says-early-probe-12765481.php']told the [I]San Francisco Chronicle[/I][/URL] that Uber is likely not responsible for the Sunday evening crash that killed 49-year-old pedestrian Elaine Herzberg. “I suspect preliminarily it appears that the Uber would likely not be at fault in this accident," said Chief Sylvia Moir. [I] Herzberg was "pushing a bicycle laden with plastic shopping bags," according to the [I]Chronicle[/I]'s Carolyn Said, when she "abruptly walked from a center median into a lane of traffic." After viewing video captured by the Uber vehicle, Moir concluded that “it’s very clear it would have been difficult to avoid this collision in any kind of mode (autonomous or human-driven) based on how she came from the shadows right into the roadway." Moir added that "it is dangerous to cross roadways in the evening hour when well-illuminated, managed crosswalks are available." The police said that the vehicle was traveling 38 miles per hour in a 35 mile-per-hour zone, according to the [I]Chronicle[/I]—though a [URL='https://www.google.com/maps/@33.4350531,-111.941492,3a,49.5y,347.01h,83.57t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sx-K4_17J8MVthFRapvIa2A!2e0!7i13312!8i6656']Google Street View shot[/URL] of the roadway taken last July shows a speed limit of 45 miles per hour along that stretch of road.[/I] [/QUOTE]
