This is of course, a terrible mistake, and a prime example of corporate greed, by not insuring the technology was completely ready consumer use.
I will add, that the other day, I started to cross the road, and had my head in the clouds. I didn't properly check the lights, and as a result, had a major wake up call when I saw traffic coming at me at blinding speed. Obviously I got out of the way in time or I wouldn't be typing this. Here is the point I am going to make:
There is a certain level of accountability we all need to have for ourselves. I don't care how good AI technology is or gets, or how good of a driver is behind the wheel. At the end of the day, it was a foolish mistake for that person to blindly cross the road, and some mistakes, we don't get second chances at. If this sounds harsh, I cannot think of what to say to pacify anyone. It is the truth. My heart goes out to the person hit, and the family. Hopefully people will exercise more caution when walking out into traffic.
