The Uber vehicle was in autonomous mode with a human safety driver at the wheel when it struck the woman So, there was a person in the car at the time with the car set on "autonomous."

Absolute idiocy to have self driving vehicles. Next things will be self flying airplanes, self shooting guns (oh boy, I can hear the uproar if that happens).

This goes way beyond Uber. The auto manufacturer and the developer of the self-driving technology might have a lot more exposure than Uber.

It clearly broke the first rule of Asimov’s three rules of robotics....

What about the mangled bicycle on the sidewalk ahead of the vehicle?

People trust technology too much. Don’t get me wrong, technology is great when its used to serve people. But when we love technology to the point we become its servants, that’s too much.

What about the mangled bicycle on the sidewalk ahead of the vehicle? Different accident. Fake news or bot news.

The cost of progress. Drivers need to be able to use their smartphone full time and looking out the windshield is too much trouble. /s

This raises an interesting legal question:
Can the people who wrote the code and tested the vehicle be charged with a negligence crime?
Or, even manslaughter?
