Self-driving Uber software behaved like a human before crashing, suggests eye-witness
New details about the recent Arizona car crash involving a self-driving Uber have emerged, and suggest that the vehicle's software may have made a risky decision seconds before the collision. According to a police report, the self-driving Volvo had been travelling along a wide boulevard with a 40mph speed limit. It was in self-driving mode at the time and was carrying two'safety' drivers, who say it was travelling at 38mph. The traffic lights that the Uber car was approaching turned yellow as it entered an intersection, where a Honda on the other side of the road made a left turn. The I.F.O. is fuelled by eight electric engines, which is able to push the flying object to an estimated top speed of about 120mph.
