Why is this relevant to the story? Tempe at the time of a fatal pedestrian crash is a convicted felon.

I clicked on the video and stopped it when I first saw the bicycle, it was at 3 seconds, impact is 5 seconds. A car going at 40 mph cannot avoid that collision. This is 100% the fault of the woman on the bicycle. I hit a pedestrian about 20 years ago.I was coming off a red light, had only accelerated to about 30-35 mph, night time, misty rain, and all of a sudden some woman ran right in front of my car, from left to right, wearing dark clothing. I attempted to avoid her by quickly jerking the steering wheel left and she bounced off my right front fender and went flying through the air. I thought she was dead. Cops came, charged her with jaywalking, she went to the hospital with a broken hip. I visited her there, brought her flowers, daughter screamed at me that I was the man that almost killed her mother. She sued my insurance company, they gave her $25,000. I would have nightmares for a couple of months of her bouncing off the fender.

Idiot with a bicycle meets idiot supervising a car being driven by a computer with an idiot brain. That's not going to end well. << According to records from the Arizona Department of Corrections, the safety driver sitting in the front seat of a self-driving Uber in Tempe at the time of a fatal pedestrian crash is a convicted felon. The driver, 44-year-old Rafaela Vasquez, served several years in prison under the name Rafael Vasquez. She was charged with unsworn falsification and attempt to commit armed robbery. She was released from prison in 2005. The Wizard turns out to be an obese and indifferent minimum-wage employee with a prison record pretending to work while Uber pretends to pay him or her, as the case may be. >> In the oil industry, truck drivers have nearly no accidents. They are heavily selected and trained and managed. Uber was clueless to put a criminal idiot in charge of part of their $billion dollar development project. Mqurice
