They ALREADY have better accident per mile records than PEOPLE do, as Google started testing its first self-driving car in 2009.
ONE fatality from then till NINE years later?? It's impressive. Not enough to make me go near it yet, but still impressive.
Putting tire to road risks your life? You must also fantasize collisions are accidents. You never risk your life when not putting tire to road? One wonders what planet you are on.
Only the most insipid programmer would attempt to program "every scenario" - but maybe you actually hit on the moronic reasoning that the faulty program resulted in death.
You can't comprehend math today either? With self-driving generating 100,000 times worse fatality fate, you proclaim it safer?
And then to delude yourself into considering it impressive?
I've only logged about 1.9 million miles, but I haven't had a fatality yet, so either I'm smarter than a computer and it's programmer, or more competent than a team of each. Which would be more impressive? Although I expect many other, Nay the majority of non-BungBetty drivers, have evaded a fatality, I assume most have fewer miles logged than I.

If a person doesn't have time to react, a computer system doesn't really either. A computer itself is faster, but this is an integrated system.
Crackhead shouldn't have been WALKING in busy road at night with a bike. PERIOD. She had a death wish. She didn't even LOOK at oncoming traffic.
You play in traffic on a dark night with NOTHING reflective or lit up, you are GOING to get hit!
I wonder if ANYBODY has a clue where to start in deciphering your level of stupid.
Did you think Anti-Lock Braking Systems are controlled, actuated, and processed by chipmunks or nanobots? ABS was employed in the first 747 Jumbos, and that was technology 50 years older than now.
For talented and skilled humans to even view or interact with computer systems, sensors, actuators from even 30 years vintage requires oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, high-speed cameras, and other time-slowin, time-sampling, time-filtering Instruments and devices.
You think that computers, or integrated systems, can see fully, and solely, in the human visual spectrum? There exist in technology no sensors capable of detecting a wift of 5-foot 100-pound traversing at lightning velocity such as human walking speed with a bicycle?
What does time of day matter to a computer detection?
What does reflectivity matter to a computer detection?
What does lit up matter to a computer detection?
Of all the vehicles and human drivers that she managed to not get hit by in her life, her luck ran out when she first met a non-human driven car.

Drinking it up tonight, eh? I see your shit for brains mode has come out to play.
THERE WAS A HUMAN BEHIND THE WHEEL.

Not going to mention your motorcycle accident? As big a jerk as you are, I'm sure you've caused a few, too.
ONE fatality in 9 years, with ALL the self driving cars out there...
I'd still take IT over YOU any day and twice on Sundays.

The car was not being driven by a human. The human droid occupying the seat behind the wheel was far too extremely busy staring at their lap, or the floor, to prevent the sacrifice of a human life in the pursuit of technological regression.
Ever heard of Don't Text And Drive, BungBetty?
In some States the Driving Under the Influence is worded such that it includes Influence of Distraction.

So News Headlines is now an extension of RWED and it’s hateful bullshit?
One more place to ignore. Hopefully Haken will remove it from the latest discussion listing, just like RWED.

RWED seems to have become nonstop politics. Posting nonpolitical Real World Events there only ensures the thread will get buried.
I posted this here because the subject is not fundamentally political. The subject was a News Headline. There has been some Discussion on topic, which I am glad for. RWED and here are absolutely not the only 2 subforums where stupid comments are posted.
Some people here would want to call you Forum Nazi or Gestapo or Police for suggesting threads were not in their proper forum.
Where do you think this thread should have been placed?
After 6 days in RWED it would have been buried, without ensuing Discussion.
We haven't been able to o prevent stupid comments from getting posted, in any subforum that I've seen here.
Do you disagree with this thread being posted here? Not trying to argue, just wondering your view.

If you look back at the history of this forum, you’ll see the vast majority of the threads are about News Headlines that concern the show. But since there has been lack of Firefly in the headlines the past few years, I kinda understand you all hijacking it for your own use.
But that’s not even what I’m complaining about. Reread this thread and if you can’t figure it out, oh well.
It ultimately doesn’t matter. This place has been on life support for a long time.
Oh, I’m not a fan of self driving vehicles but I do wonder if a human driver could have avoided that accident.
Maybe, maybe not.

Quote:A human driver who wasn't half asleep and driving that dark road would have used high beams on the headlights because there wasn't any oncoming traffic. The pedestrian would have shown much better. The Arizona governor has expressed himself forcefully:

Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey on Monday ordered Uber Technologies Inc. to suspend testing autonomous vehicles on public roadways in the state, a blow to the company’s development efforts after one of its self-driving cars struck and killed a pedestrian in Tempe.
Mr. Ducey, a Republican who welcomed Uber’s self-driving technology with open arms to Arizona in 2016, said in a letter to Uber’s chief executive that he had directed the state’s department of transportation to suspend the company’s ability to test the cars.

Safety drivers are supposed to be our bridge to a self-driving world. They might not have the attention spans for it. “The bottom line is that humans are terrible babysitters of automation, which is why we are in such a dangerous period of time with good, but not great, autonomous cars,” Cummings told Slate in an email. This observation could foretell problems with semi-autonomous cars and trucks.
