Self-driving Uber kills Arizona woman in first fatal crash involving pedestrian

If it's more than 1, which I'm assuming is the case, then I'm not alarmed by this incident other than having sympathy for the deceased and her family. Initial reports said she was crossing the street, but not in or near a crosswalk, so I wonder if it would have made a positive difference if a human had been driving. I hope testing doesn't get curtailed by this incident. |
