> 50%+ of car trips are less than three miles... as a society what we need is a way to make those trips without cars.

then you've only fixed 50% of car trips, and much less than 50% of vehicle miles and probably not done much at all for highway deaths.

The "solution" to a problem can be to totally redefine it. Another guy might redefine it EVEN MORE. So you get three people:

1. solved the original problem, took 2 days and thousands of lines of code
2. changed the problem, took 20 minutes 50 lines of code
3. changed the problem in another way, took 2 days and thousands of lines but this solution solved TEN problems

Now, which one is "better"? It makes no sense.
Sorry to hear about your brother passing. Hopefully this gives options in future, as you said. Thanks for sharing
Why the down votes? This seems like a reasonable discussion to be had, unless you're a binary thinker and think that anyone raising a point about humans must be secretly, implicitly arguing that cars should be able to do whatever they want.

Oh... this reminds me of where the Assessor of my county threatening to call the cops and inform them of me wanting public data; attempting to charge me thousands of dollars more for records that should only cost the amount it takes to duplicate the records; and more...

While medical expenses can push you to bankruptcy, more often it's the loss of earning potential that does it with severe illness (whether directly or because of need to care for family member).

That is, our general health cost picture and way insurance works is a subject of concern, but the bigger issue for this specific talking point is just general lack of safety net.
I think that a suspension pending investigation and possible remediation is appropriate.

I realize assuming this is the California DMV's line of reasoning is speculation, but this sentence from Cruise's own public statement on the event really does it for me (emphasis mine):

> The AV detected a collision, bringing the vehicle to a stop; then attempted to pull over to avoid causing further road safety issues, pulling the individual forward approximately 20 feet.

The tricky thing about these vehicles' control software is that it has absolutely no judgment or common sense. That's really on display here, where the vehicle immediately goes into a canned program instead of following a course of action that takes into account all the details of the situation in which it found itself, not just the ones that its creators had anticipated.

That doesn't necessarily mean that testing self-driving cars on the roads is inherently irresponsible, but it does mean that the ground rules for how we manage such programs need to be tailored to the situation. What we have here is a situation where a rather nasty software defect has been discovered. We can assume that this defect is present in all of the vehicles Cruise is operating on public roadways. It is therefore reasonable and prudent to temporarily suspend autonomous testing operations on public roadways pending analysis and remediation.

Because, let me emphasize again, TESTING. Pausing to analyze and iterate when you find problems is an essential part of testing. It's arguably the main thing that distinguishes testing from just YOLOing shit into production.
I mean talk about an edge case, I doubt the software really considers "have pedestrians literally thrown at the car" situations all that much.
Have you driven in San Francisco or basically any large US city? If cars had to stop like that to give extra space for a jaywalker that had exited the path of travel, someone would rear end the AV, or at the very least the driving experience would be very jarring. If we wanted to legitimize this case then probably large areas of downtown in cities should be redefined to be free-for-all traffic with low speed limits.
Defining progress isn't that simple.

Self-driving cars isn't progress. Larger and heavier cars isn't progress. Cars with insane eye-searing LED headlights isn't progress.
Heh, the city called me a good samaritan for acting in good faith, plus completely redid their entire process afterwards, including escalation paths to make this sort of thing less aggressive and conflict oriented in the future. So, uh, I'm honestly not sure what to say when things ultimately ended up better in the end.

And fwiw, I've worked at a high volume help desk too.

Back in 2011, I rode from Alaska to Argentina over the course of six months - Prudhoe Bay to Ushuaia. In fact I jumped in both the Arctic and Antarctic oceans!

We followed the Pan-Am most of the way. When we got to Panama, first we rode down south into the territory of the semi-autonomous Indians, the Guna Yala in the San Blas Islands. They charge a small toll to get in their territory.

Then we put our motorcycles onto dugout canoes and ferried onto a tiny island. You could walk clear across in about 5 minutes. They live on an archipelago of islands, and the women dressed traditionally, with piles of bracelets on their limbs. They had a sort of museum there with their own Flood myth, interestingly.

After a couple days our hope of a boat stopping by seemed unlikely, so we ferried back to land, rode back to Panama, and found a hostel run by a couple of Germans.

They contacted a British couple sailing around the world, who were happy to hoist our motorcycles on either side of their mast and take us to Colombia along with a few other couples also traveling, with a few stops at gorgeous Caribbean islands for snorkeling.

And that's how we crossed the Darien Gap!

For sure, but if we try to avoid any and all pain then we could still be nomadic people. Maybe life satisfaction then was higher, but certainly life expectancy wasn't. Just the death rate of babies and women alone was pretty dangerous.

So, there must be a balance somewhere right?

Given the DMV’s wording I’m waiting to see if anything in the official statement doesn’t hold up, but from Cruise’s statement, this incident is absolutely not a good vindication of human drivers, either:

> The [human-driven] Nissan Sentra then tragically struck and propelled the pedestrian into the path of the AV. The AV biased rightward before braking aggressively, but still made contact with the pedestrian. The AV detected a collision, bringing the vehicle to a stop; then attempted to pull over to avoid causing further road safety issues, pulling the individual forward approximately 20 feet. The driver of the Nissan Sentra fled the scene after the collision.

I like the part on tests. No need for dependency injection when you can just override/spyOn the functions. Most people in the .NET world uses DI, causing a lot of smaller classes where code is dubiously grouped. And my god, all the interfaces where every use of that could just as well be the class version. But we have to use DI, because (1) people look at you like you're insane if you tell them you don't like it. And (2), we also don't want to pay for commercial software like JustMock (not affiliated) or VS Enterprise (also not affiliated), that supports mocking static methods. I think that in lack of a free, maintained and widespread library for this, C# ends up with the mess the author describes. It's a shame, because there's nothing wrong with the language itself.

Because of (1) it's a struggle to convince anyone to buy (2). And would be silly to expect someone to provide it for free.
Yup. Most transit users are murdered while reading books on their way to work.
This woman got dragged 20 feet by the car after the collision, and then the car rolled over her leg and left her pinned to the ground until the fire department came and removed the wheel to get her out. The cruise vehicle wasn't at fault for the initial accident, but the subsequent damage it caused was entirely the fault of the autonomous vehicle. A person would have stopped and helped the pedestrian.
As long as we mix human and machine control, I think we will continue to have problems. If we take humans out of equation somehow, we may eliminate a lot of edge cases like this. Self driving cars need their own lanes. After that, we could couple them together. Then maybe put them on rails...

2.5. Impact of COVID-19 pandemic

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the UCI campus was closed in April 2020, and remained closed until the Fall of 2020. In addition, many participants did not feel comfortable entering the campus due to COVID-19 concerns even after the campus was officially open. As a result, participants who would have completed their 6-months of participation after April 2020 were either not able to return or chose not to return to campus for their second assessment. During the campus shutdown, contact was maintained with the participants who were impacted, and they were encouraged to continue their sensory enrichment, however, compliance was variable. When it became clear that the campus was going to remain closed for an extended period, we developed methods to remotely conduct the cognitive assessments using videoconferencing (Zoom app). When the campus re-opened and research participants were allowed back onto campus, participants who had received MRI scans at baseline received their second MRI scan.

The data set used for the cognitive assessment analysis was reduced due to a number of possible confounding issues including the different conditions present for the cognitive assessment testing at baseline (in office) and that given remotely (in their home using videoconferencing), the possible sensitivity of that testing to the immediate physical environment during the assessment, as well as the variable timing both between the date of the baseline assessment and the date of final assessment, and the date of their final assessment and the date they discontinued their sensory enrichment. Accordingly, in our data analysis for cognitive assessment, we only included individuals who had completed their 6-months of participation prior to the UCI shutdown (a total of 11 controls and 12 enriched). For the MRI analysis, we included everyone who returned to campus for their follow-up MRI despite the difference in time (range: 6–17 months; a total of 23 controls and 20 enriched).
Annoying, no, but very much entitled.

As in, he (like everybody else) is legally entitled to have access to records our government is responsible for making available, in the interest of transparency and accountability. Be thankful there are people out there volunteering to do the testing necessary to make sure our rights are working properly.

I agree with what you said, BUT

From my perspective as a person who lives in San Francisco and also bikes a LOT: human driver also do not perform acceptably.

I counted 14 cars without headlights on after sunset on a 2 mile bike ride yesterday.

I counted 5 cars parked in either a bike lane or active traffic.

2 cars took blind rights (no stops) onto Polk from various alleyways.

This was a good day, FWIW.

Cruises have obvious problems, but my hope is we don't use humans as a baseline, because they're not very good either.

EDIT:
This comment is pretty controversial for whatever reason, but said differently - why would we allow autonomous cars to kill 30k Americans every year (the same allowance we give human drivers)?

That seems like a comically bad baseline.
So this means the government is now planning to respect Indigenous land rights and territories right?

Oh, I completely agree. This is big tech solving a problem for humans, but ignoring a larger problem for humanity.

To give the benefit of the doubt, my assumption is that they're solving it this way because the road infrastructure and market for cars already exists. You'd see big tech working on automating public transit if states actually started improving their public transit infrastructure.
If they are outsourcing, is it any different than outsourcing software? In the end the person on the line represents Google.

You're presenting a false dichotomy. Giving self-driving car companies free reign to cheaply experiment on the public is not the same as "avoid[ing] any and all pain" or avoiding all technological progress.
I think the full potential of BitTorrent hasn't been realized yet. It works great for content distribution.
That wasn't what I was referring to. This is in reference to a jaywalker. My point is both cars should have stopped when they saw a jaywalker crossing the street.

It doesn't sound like the Cruise car stopped because it basically saw that the woman had just barely crossed to its left out of its path of travel.

A more cautious driver would have slowed down at the very least or stopped completely.

Not at all. I want end-to-end encryption and I want complete control over my computer. I couldn't care less how hard it makes the life of police either.

The "measure" is they get the hell out there and do actual real police work instead of pushing a button and having your entire life revealed to them. There's a limit to how many cops they can spare to tail some suspect. There's no limit at all when computers are involved.
