Police Say Uber Is Likely Not at Fault for Self-Driving Car Fatality in Arizona
> “The driver said it was like a flash, the person walked out in front of them,” Moir said. “His first alert to the collision was the sound of the collision.”<p>I don't know if that is supposed to make anyone feel better about this, if anything it makes it seem worse. I thought one of the big benefits of these systems was they were supposed to be better at exactly these kinds of situations?<p>More like "autonomous cars are better than people at stopping in a flash" rather than "just like people this car didn't stop in a flash".<p>I'm really not trying to trash these systems, I'm just surprised at this explanation. Though, I guess based on the other comments now, maybe I shouldn't be.
