Pedestrian crosses road in unexpected place in pitch black conditions, even human driver does not react. I have to say, some pedestrians have zero care for their safety, and seem to assume that because they can see the car, the car driver can see them. When the conditions often make the pedestrian virtually invisible. And then there are those people deliberately trying to get run over - commonplace in Russia... but then anything goes in Russia.
It's sad that this person was homeless and recently out of jail, I wondered who would be walking around there late at night. The road layout was obviously designed for cars not pedestrians, a sidewalk meets the highway, a small sign says "Use crosswalk".
The news reports eventually get around to some salient facts : Uber robot cars have been driving for nearly a year before this accident. One person gets killed on Arizona roads every 9 hours. Yup, humans killed 962 people (2016), robot car kills 1 person. So ban robot cars?
This is the question I raised before : will people accept robot cars, even if they kill a lot less people than human driven cars, but still kill a few?
