Subject: 2018: First pedestrian killed by a self-driving vehicle
Written By: imrane on 01/22/20 at 9:40 am
Do you remember this sad and tragic, yet historic event? It was huge on YouTube and TV news. :\'(
I will probably forever remember that video, almost as strong as I remember the 1997 Diana or 9/11 TV reports. While it was not as big as them it nonetheless got so much publicity, it practically defined 2018.

I think the Tesla drove under a truck at an intersection in the US. It was tragic.
I think the driver ended up decapitated, he was a semi-famous YouTuber if I recall correctly.

Something now rings familiarity with me, there could be a topic on this already these boards here.

I misread the thread title. I think the OP is talking about the autonomous Uber car in Arizona that ran into a pedestrian. It appears there were many self-driving accidents in 2018 :P
Edit: it appears the Tesla incident was in 2016. I really got my dates messed up.

Not the first fatality but the first pedestrian one.
Basically she was crossing at an illegal place at the wrong time while wearing dark clothes. The driver would've ran her over even if she didn't check her phone, no time to react.

Sorry guys, I deleted it. I've seen much worse actually so kinda desenticized, didn't think before posting...
But makes you think twice about wearing dark clothes in the evening, she really was invisible.
