Person crosses street when they shouldn't.

Car lightly taps them and stops.

Person is not injured.

Person is stupid.

I think regulation is important, but this isn't news.

TBF, the car is stupid to, not because of this just in general AI is stupid, if it was a human in the car we would just say he was angry but with AI we know it wasn’t angry and made a mistake, it happened to catch the mistake before it killed somebody but that mistake is in the programming of every single car of that type in the world, letting of a small problem like this is equal to saying it’s legal, since it will be a nation wide bug that is allowed.

Yeah. The person was on 'FA' and now (barely) on 'FO'.

What happened to looking both ways and being wary of the things that could crush you?
