Self-Driving Uber Car Hits Pedestrian [VIDEO]
Watch as a self-driving Uber car hits a pedestrian.
The accident happened on March 18th in Tempe, Ariz and it is now under investigation. As you can see in this video, the car never slows down and it plows over the person crossing the street.
The passenger, who is a lot braver than me, is sitting in the self-driving car when it hits the person and he appears to be in shock once he realizes what has just happened.
According to initial reports, the car was going 40mph in a 35 mph and its sensors did not recognize the person crossing the street.
After seeing this, I can't help but think that maybe it's not such a good idea to have cars drive themselves.
Sadly, the pedestrian was killed in this accident. And as a result, Uber has pulled all self-driving vehicles from the roads.
