What's the ratio of not autonomous cars to human operated?
Sci/Tech Self-Driving Uber Car Kills Pedestrian in Arizona

only by inconvenience. If it mattered to you, you could have a life where you rode a horse everyday. To work and back, to the grocery store...it's an inconvenience, it's not illegal.
Technically, all are human-operated. There are no autonomous (L4/L5) cars on the road at this time.
The human in this accident had every opportunity to avoid the collision that a human in an unassisted car would have possessed.
Human error due to over-reliance on automation, a legitimate safety concern for L1-L3 cars, is no more dangerous than an inattentive driver of an unassisted car. If you don't pay attention to driving, you're going to cause collisions. Sometimes with inattentive pedestrians.
No, it would be illegal for me to use a horse in place of a car.
That's not an answer to my question.
laws vary from state to state. You're free to live in a state where riding a horse is considered a pedestrian or an automobile, depending on the state.

Yeah doesn't Pennsylvania allow the Amish to use their horse-drawn carriages on public roads?

The safety driver behind the wheel when a self-driving Uber car struck and killed a woman in Arizona served time for two felony convictions, but met company requirements for hiring.

He lives in Ontario, but I'm pretty sure there are Amish or Mennonite communities there, so it would be strange if they didn't have the same laws.all the states I'm familiar with either treat a horse as an automobile or a pedestrian. But I don't know where

@T-City Parks/Rec Director also
@BirdWatcher told me that everyone in Ontario secretly wishes they were American citizens so I imagine the province just copied all of our laws
If I said secretly then I misspoke. They may not be overly vocal about it but there's no hiding the fact.
According to the Highway Safety Act, horses and horse-drawn buggies are allowed on Ontario roads. Buggies need a slow moving vehicle sign, riders under 18 need a helmet and hard-soled shoes with a minimum 1.5 cm heel.
so not only can
@ConorMcGregorsBeard ride a horse on the road, he can do it in his Fuck-Me pumps.
Exactly, no human would hit that person, or at least kill that person. Back to the drawing boards tech nerds! Don't try to kill anyone this time.
Highway traffic act is provincial rather than municipal.so not only can
any human who wasn't paying attention to driving would have hit the pedestrian. This driver wasn't paying attention.
You could live outside of the municipality and ride a horse to work every day. Like I said, "convenience".
Because he relied on a robot to do it for him. False sense of security. It's human behavior.
so is texting and driving. so is Highway Hypnosis. so is yelling at the kids in the back seat. If you look away at the wrong moment, and a pedestrian literally walks in to the path your oncoming vehicle, that pedestrian is going to die.
Yes, texting is yet another technology that takes us away from driving.
I would've used my breaks. That is the bottom line. The comuter did not. No matter what level, it's still not ready to drive alone (the computer that is). No matter how much you like them cars.
OK, you would have used your brakes. Glad you have never taken your eyes off the road.
Any evidence that this guy would have used his brakes?
Edit to add: no shit the car is not ready to drive alone. That's why it's an L2 vehicle, and somebody is in the car. You want to put full blame on the car, but leave the two humans out of the equation.
