"Had the truck had the same sensing equipment that the shuttle has, the accident would have been avoided."

Had the shuttle had a human that the truck had, he could have seen the danger before the sensor did.

I dunno. Was a backing accident. Guess it’d depend on whether human driver could have also thrown it into reverse in time and had nothing behind to block his own back.

This article posted today does point out that a human driver probably would have at least been honking his horn (shuttle wasn’t programmed to see what was coming and honk) and probably could have backed up to alert/avoid the accident.

Also makes a good point that autonomous vehicles don’t yet have the kind of common sense avoidance measures programmed into them that a human driver would have when it encounters a human driver that’s doing something stupid.

That's why the focus will be on completely eliminating the human element
