First pedestrian killed by autonomous vehicle
KNXV in Arizona reports that a pedestrian died last night after being hit by an autonomous vehicle.
The Uber had a human safety driver but was self-driving when it collided with the victim, according to KNXV. Early reports identified the victim as a bicyclist, but the latest updates say she walked into the street. It appears to be the first pedestrian killed by an autonomous vehicle.
10 pedestrians were killed in the last week by cars driven by humans in Phoenix in what local officials described as a "major crisis."https://twitter.com/daiwaka/status/975771533745336320
