The woman who hit me was checking her email. A Fed running late. I was in the crosswalk with the walk sign. She paid a fine and got a few points, plus higher insurance premiums. If the state of ND cared so much, they would not have allowed her to plea down.

technology has already solved this problem, crash avoidance will stop the car when a pedestrian is in front of it so the driver doesn't have to pay attention. why aren't we using technology to solve problems instead of outdated laws.

Tell that to Elaine Herzberg's family.

she was a drugged up idiot and ran across a highway, in her case the person in the vehicle should be protected at all costs not the moron running across the highway.

to add "Uber had disabled the emergency-braking capabilities to smooth out the rides, and Vasquez was not paying attention because she was watching a television program on one of her cellphones, according to reports from the National Transportation Safety Board and Tempe police."

The only risk at not stopping when the other party is at fault is damage to the vehicle, I would want the onboard AI to evaluate damage to my car based on the other person's fault as well, so maybe it should have stopped based on that parameter

The idea that it's ok to run over and kill people if they are at fault - that's exactly why technology is NOT the answer to this problem. Let alone allowing the onboard AI to decide whether it's ok to run over and kill the person?
