Uber crashes a pedestrian in a self-driving car

Autopilot is a relatively sensitive frontier technology because it is directly related to life and death. The important driving force of automatic driving has always been that it is safer than humans to drive, at least in theory! But humans’ trust in machinery is limited, especially when unexpected situations occur, machinery often becomes a “murderer”. ...

March 20, according to foreign media reports, in Phoenix, Arizona, Tempe, Uber automatic car and a female pedestrian accident, resulting in pedestrians eventually died. Uber suspended the autopilot test in North America and said it would actively cooperate with the police in the investigation.

It is reported that when the accident was released, an Uber driver was on the driving position in the self-driving car. The detailed cause of the accident has not yet been announced.

In early 2018, I had seen a number of Uber self-driving cars on the road in the area. The test site was located outside of Arizona State University. The cars tested were Volvo XC90.

In the past two years, auto and technology companies have been speeding up autopilot testing, and at the same time they are also pushing relevant agencies to formulate laws and regulations for this technology. This accident may have an impact on autopilot-related legislation.

Former US Transportation Minister Anthony Foxx said in a tweet: "The accident was a warning to the entire driverless industry and government and should pay more attention to the safety of technology."


NVIDIA Autopilot Technology Introduction

Of course, for this matter personally feels no less than a panic, automatic driving is not a Pandora's ink cartridges, with the related technology (communication, image recognition) is enhanced, the safety of automatic driving technology will also be further improved, the former chairman of the US National Transportation Safety Board Mark Mark Rosenker (Mark Rosenker) said: The United States has an average of more than 6 million traffic accidents each year, causing 6,000 pedestrians and nearly 40,000 deaths.

However, the establishment of relevant systems for autonomous driving does need to be accelerated. At present, China is also accelerating the development of self-driving cars. Beijing, Shanghai, and Chongqing have successively developed "driving tests" for self-driving cars. This may be to improve the "complex" traffic in China. The situation is a good start!
