The mini SUV was going 38 in a 35. The autonomous driving level was level 2, which means a driver was at the wheel and ready to take control.
We are told the video shows the woman stepped in to the path of a car from an unlit center medium at dusk. If there are 5 current cameras recording the event, including a recording of the driver, what incentive would there be for the police to lie?
I hope you never had an accident using cruise control.
Who in God's name would be dumb enough to use cruise control in an area requiring a 35 MPH speed limit??
Other than Uber, apparently....
“We are told the video shows the woman stepped in to the path of a car from an unlit center medium at dusk. “
So the sensors can’t operate correctly in those conditions and the program can’t respond in a timely manner?

That’s a good comparison in this case.
Is that for certain? When I read the article yesterday, it gave the intersection near where the wreck occurred in Tempe. I think is was Mill Road and Curry Road. I spent some time on Google Maps Street View, and noted nothing less than 45 MPH on those roads in that area. That doesn't mean things haven't changed since the street view images were taken, though. Also, there were some stretches of road that I couldn't find a speed limit sign within a 1/2 mile of the intersection, but the signs I did find were all labeled 45 MPH.
