Good to here, for a 60billion dollar market cap company, they should be easily able to afford compensation, especially if they're losing billions a year.
The thing that shocked me is leaked data showed self-driving Uber cars in Arizona were "struggling" to go 13 miles between interventions by a safety driver. That is just so crap.

For Googles cars it was 5,600 miles before the driver had to take control from the computer to steer out of trouble.
So 5600 / 13 = 430.
So Googles self driving cars are 430 times more autonomous/safer.
Do people still believe considering the compensation and the 430 times less reliable that this was a "legitimate kill" via the Uber car?
Here is the spot in Google Street view, ironically she has basically made it to the bike lane lines start when she got killed.

Also a few meters back about where LIDAR should most certainly should have seen her (LIDAR sees in the dark) there is a bike sign on the road that says "Yield to Bikes"

The creepy thing is you can actually see this "Yield to Bikes" sign in the first few frames of this gif video, sign is on the right.
Also Ubers newer cars have far less sensors, probably to save money. The car that killed only had one single LIDAR, but their previous test car had 7 LIDARS.

For me this thread as been a real eye opener, everyones "trust the self-driving car/computer and the private company its pedestrians own fault and this is a legitimate kill."
I really was afraid when this happened people on here would feel this was a legit kill. Even though this forum has hardened me against people who never agree with me I am still overall shocked.
