And so it begins. Video shows human in driver's seat was not watching the road.
Officials said an Arizona woman was killed after being struck by a self-driving Uber vehicle Sunday — an incident believed to be the first of its kind.

The accident in the Phoenix suburb of Tempe caused the company to suspend all testing of self-driving vehicles in cities across the country.

Tempe Police Sgt. Ronald Elcock told Fox News that Elaine Herzberg, 49, was walking outside of a crosswalk when she was struck by the vehicle just before 10 p.m.

Almost looked like the car swerved toward her in the video

She wasn't crossing the street at a designated intersection, the council of Uber has ruled: death

That was sort of a gag.

However, there are a ton of liability / insurance issues coming down the pike regarding automated cars.

We need a Blue Ribbon Commission, or something. :goteam: :drunk:

""The vehicle was traveling northbound just south of Curry Rd. when a female walking outside of the crosswalk crossed the road from west to east when she was struck by the Uber vehicle," police said."

I'm amazed you guys aren't all over the fact she was a 40 year old homeless drug abuser. She fucking walked in front of that car out of the dark without even looking at all. I'd probably have hit her, my mom in her 80's certainly would have.
