I'm sure most of us have read about the fatal accident involving a self-driving Uber and a pedestrian.
I'm curious as to what most here think? As much as I'd like this to point to the possible shortfalls of autonomous vehicles, I more strongly feel that had this same accident occurred in a human piloted vehicle, we'd have never even been aware of it's occurrence. The newly released video makes it seem as though the accident was virtually unavoidable.
So, what say you? And, to extrapolate, what are your thoughts regarding the mindset that, while autonomous vehicles might not avoid some accidents we would normally deem avoidable, they will ultimately result in fewer accidents overall? In other words, are you willing to trade more human caused accidents for fewer computer caused accidents?
