When your missus is angry with you just tell her she is overreacting, she will realise you are right and calm down immediately.

And always be honest when she asks "Does my bum look big in this?"

"No bigger than usual dear" is my standard reply.
I'm pretty sure I would not like to live in a world in which I would never be offended.

I think it is misleading [^] as although you don't 'see her till late, the car should have other mechanisms other than 'sight' to be able to detect her. It does debunk the earlier theory I saw in here where they said a human driver would be aware of someone near the road - you literally don't see her.

I must admit I was a little skeptical of all 'human killed by robot stuff' (humans have been killed by robots before, uprising was not triggered). From the looks of it was someone crossing a road that wasn't busy at night wearing black while not paying attension. Darwin potential?

Quote: you literally don't see her.
But that may be down to the quality of the video - you can't judge from that what a human in the car could see. But yes, as the selling point of these vehicles is their improved safety and efficiency over humans, one does rather feel they failed here.
Having said that, I find the various remarks by the victim's family to be somewhat distasteful - I get the distinct impression their first instinct is about how much money they can get out of this rather than grief for their relative.

It will never be 100% safe. But even 1 accident from time to time is still monumentally better than what we have now.

If that's actually HDR, it's not representative of what's reasonable for the cars camera to have seen. In low light HDR will be combining multiple images, some relatively long to build up enough data on the dimly lit portions; the car's camera has to run in video mode so it can react to the far more common fast moving objects.

So you really want to tell me it's okay for you that an autonomous car is only driving by cam vision with that horrible quality?
Minimum for me is LIDAR and RADAR on the car, otherwise it has to follow rules like only drive as fast as you can react, meaning with this low light and bad view not even 10mph!
I wanted to show with that picture that the human could have prevented the accident because she would have seen way more than the cam.

No, that's not what I said.
What I said was that HDR is not, and cannot be, used as a reference for what should be seen by what needs to be a video camera. That said, from what I've seen after making my previous comment I've seen cell phone video of the street at night showing almost as much detail as that still that paints a much worse picture of the quality/calibration of Uber's camera and has me wondering about the statements from the local cops about it being too dark to see the victim in advance.
Elsewhere on this very thread I said that LIDAR (which everyone but Tesla's self driving cars are using) should have detected the woman.
More broadly speaking, I find myself in increasing agreement with Timothy B Lee that even if not legally at fault in any of their recent crashes, Uber's cars are demonstrating a pattern of not being particularly good drivers.

Agreed, they should be banned from the road.

What learned from this is that having a "human backup" is useless if that person is on their phone. He should be prosecuted.

Infrared imaging?
Good idea.

IR cams would be a good idea (and some luxury cars have had them for the last few years); but just LIDAR should've been enough to detect her.

Some Mercs had them, they will probably become standard on all cars soon.
