Incorrect. Plenty of focus is on him. Just as plenty of focus is on the woman who jaywalked her bicycle in front of a moving car.

I still place the majority of blame on her. Not Uber. Nor that freak whatever it is.

The purpose of the “safety driver” is safety.

That guy was reading/sending texts.

Look at the video of the car interior.

I agree. But autonomous cars should have sensors that would have detected her, and he wasn’t as attentive as he should have been.

I think if I’d been driving I could have missed her.

Jaywalking isnt some heinous crime and, watching the video, I could have avoided killing her while eating fries with one hand.

The issue is that these very imperfect machines - that cannot be afforded by 2/3rds of Americans - are dangerous AND UNNECESSARY.

What is it with these weirdo autonomous car worshippers who get all butt hurt by the fact that untested and un-ready technology just killed someone for no reason? They blame the victim(?) and then argue that people also hit people as if that makes it all ok. Progress!! Lol

Some people just cant handle the horrors of freedom.

This is the first report I’ve seen saying anything beyond that a “safety driver” was present in the car.

Except that "freak" wasn't paying attention and literally only looked up as the car hit the woman.

Yea, besides that, its all the fault of the jay-walking woman.
