- The camera in the uber vehicle was low grade and so the video in no way represents the lighting condition at the time of the crash
- The area of the crash was extremely well lit and so the person walking the bike should have been observed by any attentive driver.
So guess mea culpa for running fast and loose with the limited information i had.
The following are posts/information previously posted:
From BBC Uber's self-driving operator charged over fatal crash
Many Questions:
What was she charged with?
What were their considerations of perception/reaction?
Obviously the driver was negligent in not paying attention however had she been paying 100% attention would the circumstances be any different? Nighttime and person walking a bike across the lanes?
Seeing the dashcam video the visibility does not seem to allow for ANY P/R?
this was from NTSB REPORT about detection however she was traveling 45 MPH...that's 66 ft/sec...20 m/sec so essentially she might have gotten on the brakes at the instant of impact?
did a quick read...
NTSB did a sight distance study at 5 MPH??? and
here's info on THAT and their Conclusions:
Looks like time for Jeff Muttart to do an analysis and chime in!
Here is the video from the vehicle with a timer added...first real time, then slow motion
