Interesting partial media spin on this one...
If I were an investigator, I would start on the premise that someone else hit this car - not that it was at fault...
The onboard cameras would help with the rest of the story!
My question is, if the self driving car is a fault, who gets
the ticket and who gets sued?
8:07 That would be the owner or the driver of the car... And you people wonder why we call you all stupid!!!!
You’re making that assumption because the damage is on the side of the vehicle which is a hasty call...maybe the autonomous vehicle pulled out into traffic without the right of way. Same result entirely different cause.
8:07 just exactly who are you talking about when you say "you people"? I have the feeling you are suffering from a little bit of culture shock,your life would get much easier if you would learn to accept people as they are or just move to an area where everyone isn't stupid as you put it.
From the article "According to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, a box truck ran a red light about 10 a.m. at the 16th and Progress streets in Pittsburgh’s North Side and smashed into an Argo AI self-driving car with four people inside."
This should help all of the commenters with reading comprehension deficit.
As a side note this happened in PA. Everyone who lives in OC knows what lousy drivers Pennsylvania drivers are.
Self driving cars is without a doubt the stupidest idea anyone has ever come up with.
The article also mentions the injured were in the self driving car. Hope they are ok, but -- really. Maybe a human driving would have been a little more cautious with the stop light. I know I am and many times have not gone through a light because someone was running it - what say you self driving car with 4 human passengers? Sounds like a major fail to me. Not saying they cannot be safer in some cases, but maybe this is a flaw. And maybe they will not be as safe as people think?
12:44 There will always be flaws in computer controlled self driving cars (Microsoft windows has been around for over 25 years and it is still flawed) just as human drivers are flawed. The question is which will have the fewer flaws per mile resulting in the fewer accidents and deaths.
Currently when vehicles are driving on the highway the speed difference between cars can be 20 mph or more with cars clumped together on the highway and lots of space between the groups. With autonomous driving cars all cars on the highway will drive at the same speed with cars properly merging onto the highway resulting in more efficient traffic flow and possibly fewer accidents.
615, that's hilarious!
