[QUOTE="Simeon_Strangelight, post: 1179274, member: 6783"] Average reaction time for humans is 3 seconds. He only had 2 seconds and that assumes a good driver who swerves. But if you plopp even not a fat tranny in front of a self-driving car, then you will have 99%+ of folk barely watch what is going on in the road. The tranny was texting or watching xir's phone most of the time, but in this case I can hardly blame him. Before xir would make a move, then it was already too late. Still - the case remains, that the sensors should not have been affected by it. If I had their vision, then I would have seen the woman a long time before. What probably confused the computere was that the person was still on the other side of the road and I guess the programming did not count that as an inconvenience. Of course any human would react to that if he saw it. I might add that I do believe that self-driving cars will be safer and much better in the future. I only distrust our unethical shitheads to be he masters of that system. That is why I think that it will be abused tremendously - not that not a good idea. This case - I blame the machine because it should have seen the woman coming, though many humans would have driven over her as well. The programming should include foreign people or objects coming from the other lane as well. If a kid on an open road drives across to the other side, then most humans would react long in advance with full visibility. You cannot have the machine ignore that kid and only attempt to stop when the child crosses your lane. On second thought - I did not see the machine attempt to break. The reaction time of the car should have been under one second. My guess is that the sensors did not even notice the person - even with full visibility the car would have driven over the woman when 99% of humans would have managed to stop. [/QUOTE]
