As someone who has used computer controlled equipment for decades that have similar components to those needed to operate an autonomous motor vehicle I am not surprised this happened. I am rather appalled that self driving cars are even in the development process. Computer controlled motion is far from foolproof as all components are subject to failure. Look at all the accidents caused by computerized systems on trains and those things run on tracks. Something as simple as moisture making it's way into a connection in a feedback loop can cause multiple system processes to go haywire. I would not want to be anywhere near a self driving car unless I was in a Sherman tank. I hope the deceased's family wins the biggest lawsuit in history.
