I was wondering if Arizona has the death penalty for murdering cars?

I heard California has sent a Jerr-Dan to pick it up and whisk it into sanctuary. They have offered it a secured parking space in a San Fransisco.

The governor rejected a last minute appeal for clemency.

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.

Anyone think that waiting for the facts to come out could be the wise thing to do?

We have learned 'facts' never come out, just the version we are supposed to see.

Might be wise, but it's no fun.

Only facts that matter, a pedestrian was hit and killed by a self-driving vehicle. The push for self-driving vehicles is supposedly all about safety. The safety comes from eliminating human error while operating a lethal machine.

I find the idea of a self-driving car bizarre. Driving is something that needs a human being at the controls and monitoring the surroundings at all times.

Distracted driving, the car was texting another robot.

I can. How about being murdered by an illegal immigrant who had previously been deported 15,000 times but somehow kept being able to come back again and shack up in some of those nifty "Sanctuary Cities" the USA is reported to have up and running in some choice ultra-liberal cities.

Do you shed tears over those senseless deaths time and again? Because I don't see you posting such emotional responses to THOSE...

Is running a bicycle across the street in front of a car still considered being a pedestrian?
