Does the car or the computer get life?

According to the article she crossed over in the wrong spot so human error again.

Still not sure why the guy in the vehicle did nothing.

This was at night, so maybe just not enough time to stop.

Accident? Or first strike by the machines...

Need to read through the logs to determine culpability.

Surprisingly few. Drivers on the other hand have killed millions.

And someone dies every 30 seconds globally from vehicle accidents, I'll take the machines - source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_traffic-related_death_rate

I see that the other incident is Uber running a red light - I saw that multiple times this morning on the way to work.

There was a "human safety driver" supervising and he too was supervised by an AI system and that AI had a human supervisor as well at head office - I think.
