I’d love a self-driving car.

I just don’t want anyone ELSE to have them.

As a lot of us have been saying—not ready for the roads, Uber’s fault. Now we know more to confirm. Maybe this will be enough to keep all driverless cars off roads and not use the public as guinea pigs for their experiments.

I still want to know how these things operate in tunnels and parking garages or anywhere covered that blocks sat and cell.

And competitor Google is out claiming its Waymo car would have avoided the accident. Apparently they are also on the road in Tempe. They should not be. Who dies next?

Some deceased pedestrian’s family will soon be saying,
“All of your Uber stocks are belonging to us”

Next test for Uber, IF THEY GET A NEXT TEST. Put it in a neighborhood of its families and kids—schools, parks, bikepaths, crosswalks, long blocks with informal crosswalks etc. Let them direct their kids to walk their bikes across the street. Let them test there first.

Here is the video of the accident: https://youtu.be/8IqpUK5teGM Warning: It’s disturbing. Will just say no human driver could have avoided this tragedy. Happened way too fast.

Misleading headline. Uber used their own system rather than the one that comes with the car.

Can’t speak for others, but I would NEVER trust a self-driving car to stop for me if I were crossing the street.

Knew something was wrong - even my Rav4 would have at least locked them up (as much as the ABS would allow) trying to stop and the Uber car never twitched.

These are still experimental vehicles. They should be driven by trained technicians, not some poor schlump Uber driver. They are intentionally putting incomplete technology into a life or death scenario and the various governments are giving them their blessing to run them around in their cities. Why?

In the video, it appeared that there was a large blank rectangle on the screen then the woman suddenly popped into view. It wasn’t clear if it was a camera failure or if the video had been (poorly) doctored.
