WASHINGTON - An Uber self-driving test vehicle that struck and killed an Arizona woman in 2018 had software flaws, the National Transportation Safety Board said Tuesday as it disclosed the company’s autonomous test vehicles were involved in 37 crashes over the prior 18 months.
The board will meet Nov. 19 to determine the probable cause of the March 2018 accident in Tempe, Arizona that killed 49-year-old Elaine Herzberg as she was walking a bicycle across a street at night. In the aftermath of the crash, Uber suspended all testing and did not resume until December in Pennsylvania with revised software and significant new restrictions and safeguards,
In one incident, the test vehicle struck a bent bicycle lane post that partially occupied the test vehicle’s lane of travel. In another incident, the operator took control to avoid a rapidly approaching vehicle that entered its lane of travel. The vehicle operator steered away and struck a parked car.
Was it another case of regulatory capture? (just like when the FAA certified the Boeing 737 Max even if its MCAS software has a fatal flaw) 🤔
Dont blame the software for that Uber crash. The Uber driver wasnt paying any attn to what was going on at the time...as she was supposed to.
Isn’t that why they had a human at the wheel to supervise?
Oh cmon nothing is perfect
