There is a discussion on Hacker News, but feel free to comment here as well.
While there are bad drivers that make terrible mistakes, I would hope they would brake for a child crossing the street if seen, rather than self driving that just didn’t register it and plows through.
I’m sure a quick Google search will reveal a multitude of cases where that wasn’t the case. People kill kids with cars all the time, in fact the only greater danger to a child’s life in the US is being shot.
I don’t doubt it. just saying i’d hope a person would notice, even with full assistant ans take action
The problem is that they don’t see the kid crossing the road, just like a self driving car might not register it.
99.99% of car accidents are real drivers, and most of the time it’s just lack of attention and/or not knowing the road rules/not following the road rules.
A self driving car running a red light once is bad, but it’s hardly the end of the world or reason for people to want to shit down self driving cars. The driver of the car should have hit the brakes.
