Reading the comments I get the impression that most people didn't actually read the article, which says that a woman was barely touched and not injured by a self-driving car while crossing the street with a red light.

There barely is "news" here, as the car correctly halted as soon as possible after noticing the pedestrian unforeseeable move, so let alone sides to take.

I am perfectly aware that self-driving technology still has numerous problems corroborated by the incidents reported from time to time, but if anything this article seems a proof that these cars will at least not crush to death the first pedestrian that does a funky move.

Why read the article when I can repeat lies and make tired jokes about social credit scores because China bad?
