Cyclone Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Yes in the video of the incident the victim just appears out of the night in a split-second, going by the video on the BBC is just over 1 second between the time you first see the victim and the time of impact. If they've edited the video to make it appear darker than it actually was though....... The suggestion is that the camera wasn't calibrated for night. https://arstechnica.com/cars/2018/03/police-chief-said-uber-victim-came-from-the-shadows-dont-believe-it/ Some alternate videos and snaps of the same road in this article.

Those alternative videos certainly make the whole road and surroundings look much more illuminated. Thank you for posting them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alchresearch Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 More data released: Report: Software bug led to death in Uber’s self-driving crash https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2018/05/report-software-bug-led-to-death-in-ubers-self-driving-crash/ The fatal crash that killed pedestrian Elaine Herzberg in Tempe, Arizona, in March occurred because of a software bug in Uber's self-driving car technology, The Information's Amir Efrati reported on Monday. According to two anonymous sources who talked to Efrati, Uber's sensors did, in fact, detect Herzberg as she crossed the street with her bicycle. Unfortunately, the software classified her as a "false positive" and decided it didn't need to stop for her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
