The car did NOT slow down, the occupant did not intervene.

There was no time for the car or driver to react according to the police chief and the preliminary investigation. Did you read the article?
I read several. He did not say that. He said he observed the lady finish walking her bike across the street, which is common in Tempe with the excessively long blocks. He said the car did not slow down or break. He did NOT say there was no time to. There are various reports about this. If they saw, then there was time. The computer failed, the operator in the car failed. We might allow the latter, but the former? Besides, combine that with Uber’s problem with bicycles and bike paths, this deserves careful investigation, not rash rush to cover up the first murder by a self-driving car.
