Do you think that the passenger would have been paying attention to what's in front of the car? I don't think so, but I would rather go by the cameras on the car - they don't lie.
I think they would have. At least human drivers that aren't driving like self-driving cars 😜
Fair point, and I appreciate your concern.
My daughter's friend was killed by a driver in a pick-up truck less than a year ago while she was riding an e-scooter. It was 100% avoidable, and the driver was only charged with failure to yield.
No charges for actually killing her. So when I see that cars are still hurting or killing people, it boils my blood because I know that the driver (self-driving or not) will never be held accountable.
