The case is believed to be the first time that U.S. prosecutors have brought felony charges against a motorist who was using a partially automated driving system.
the driver was really a victim of the tesla/uber experiment. first - someone in tesla or uber decided to turn off the emergency brake assistent because it was giving out what they considered too many false positive alarms. the car at the moment of the accident knew about the pedestrian and tracked him, but the emergency brake which should have engaged was turned off. and then the driver was thrown under the bus by uber.
it is really hard to pay attention as a driver when there is really nothing to pay attention to. hard to blame the driver.
Why so low penalties? Were the victims black or brown?
Yeaaaaaah…
oh, it is another crash…
