In U.S. time last night, Uber's driverless car hit a woman during the driving in the state of California and eventually died. It is understood that the woman is walking on a bicycle to cross the road. Accidents occurred when crossing the road and passing through the road.
After a preliminary investigation, it was revealed that the Uber SUV being driven was in the automatic driving mode. However, in the course of an accident, the car did not take braking or deceleration measures.
In fact, this was not the first time an unmanned driver had an accident. In May of last year, the Tesla driverless car collided with a left-turning truck when it reached an intersection and caused the driver to die. Even before that, Google and other companies had accidents with unmanned cars.
The test environment of formerly unmanned vehicles is relatively simple, and it seems to have achieved good results. It also makes people believe in the feasibility of driverless technology. After the test scene is complicated, all the accidents that have emerged have caused the public to become unmanned. This concept produces mistrust.
In fact, the number of self-driving cars currently underway in Arizona has exceeded 100, but the number of traffic accidents is only two. However, the severity of the Uber incident this time may cause more intense public and government-related issues. Sense of mistrust. This is not Uber's predicament. At the same time, it will be the winter of autopilot technology.
It is not yet known what the main responsibility for the accident is, but in any case, today's driverless cars have not yet reached the level of public expectation. Although it may be the future direction of the automotive industry, the distance from the ultimate goal has been increasing. The more twisted.
