Default Re: Autonomous vehicle kills a pedestrian

Not sticking up for autonomous cars , certainly no expert either but this won't stop them I reckon . When the Comet jet airliner hit the scene many decades ago it was the 'new thing' revolutionizing air travel massively from prop to jet travel.

Before long the Comet suffered mishaps and eventual catastophic crash and it turned out after a lot of investigation to be from metal fatigue primarily because of the shape of the passenger windows causing stress on the skin of the fuselage .. They fixed it and this led to more and more developments and improvements .

I'm guessing as tragic as this is , the same will happen with these vehicles over the years . Pretty much all technology strikes problems .
