Tempe Police Release Video of Uber Accident
This is pure speculation, but it is my working theory: The car&#x27;s so called &quot;AI&quot; thought the thing in front of it was a four legged animal (e.g., see &lt;<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;goo.gl&#x2F;images&#x2F;3qAmiM&gt;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;goo.gl&#x2F;images&#x2F;3qAmiM&gt;</a>).<p>In most states, braking for animals in a way that might endanger others on the road is illegal. So, it decided to go ahead and hit the thing in front of it on purpose.<p>I am not sure if the people who program the firmware for these contraptions have ever driven cars in difficult conditions. Between Teslas ramming into trucks and Uber cars taking out poor homeless people for a bonus score, it seems to me they are programming things, but they have no idea how this stuff is supposed to function outside of ideal parameters.<p>Sure, provide the driver with more information. But, taking the driver out of the responsibility equation is stupid.
