Uber self-driving vehicle hits, kills pedestrian in Arizona

[BDR]

nah man... not happening

on take off both pilots are looking for any trouble who ever is flying is looking for any reason to abort
pilot assisting is monitoring last chance according to the specific runway and plane's current load weight
V1 is almost last chance V2 is absolute last chance (sometimes this point is reached after rotation)
After they know they have positive rate and retract gear - they switch over from ground control to atc that will clear their planned ascent or give new directions... that's when they might go to auto

as for landing - the pilot lines up on ils for an instrument landing most times atc already has them on the glide path- they set auto pilot to help maintain air speed & rate of descent via trim n throttle, but the pilots are controlling flaps and gear.
Long before they reach the outer marker autopilot is disengaged and one of the pilots will have control of the plane...

With fly by wire the computer does most of the work always but its following the pilot's reactions

BRO I’m not talking about big airports in major cities with heavy air traffic... as I posted the vid that pilot did it on take off and landing

But everything you just explained I already knew all I’m saying is they have the capability to do it if they want

 

[BDR]

Have y’all been in a flight deck for more than 5 seconds before I go any further?

Yes u faggit

 

[ViCiouS]

No doubt here’s a pilot who fly PJs watch from the 40 sec Mark but if you want to skip in between go to the 9:45 mark when he’s on final approach it’s in auto pilot.. He’s flying solo and in a twin engine jet

he is not soloing ... NO ONE solos from the right chair
if you pay attention you'll see the left seater reach in to adjust the trim

I hear you - but consider 2 things about your example
that's not a jumbo and they didn't land or takeoff using autopilot

it was the captain's plane for both legs of that trip

edit: fyi you can't charter an executive jet of that size with only one pilot

A major highway has be to equal to a major airport

Them lil crop field airports is like coldasacs

Wait

Ain’t y’all the niggas who cool with bumping slow jams in the car wit yo bois?

man youre debating for the sake of debating
the video clearly shows he's on autopilot which was BDR's argument
sighs

 

[Coldchi]

how many people were killed by vehicles yesterday with real people driving??

BDR - was mistaken - that plane was never on autopilot
he and you both missed seeing the captain reach in adjusting the trim from the left.

Unless thats a pretty old jet with updated instruments and switches - you don't need to adjust trim if the autopilot is engaged

1st please post a more authetic link
http://www.travelandleisure.com/airlines-airports/number-of-planes-in-air

I'm not disagreeing with you about how many planes are in the air at any given time-
I gave you a link for a simple intro because you don't understand how the overall atc system works.

It’s a Cessna citation excel twin jet

ok - am I wrong about adjusting trim if autopilot is on?

I thought he was just setting the heading hence why the aircraft banked a turn after he turned the little knob

 

[ViCiouS]

on the stick?
thats the radio... he switched from ground to departure on the roll out - hit the trigger to talk to control, and switched from departure to atc...

the stick was moving because the captain was flying - listen to the convo - capt was telling the copilot what he wanted to do
copilot was working the radio, reducing flaps etc

When the left seat reaches in to the roll /dial at the top of the cluster that's the trim -
IIRC the auto pilot controls on some jets would be at the top of the cluster

here you'll see them adjust autopilot on the approach - when the pilot is adjusting the knobs at the top of the cluster

Man you niggas better get all this driving out your system now because in the next couple decades kids are going to be like " eww you used to drive?"

 

[DirtyCake]

bro you dont understand what a logical fallacy means especially when youre providing the fallacies
i mean come on man read this:


im just saying as your brother, in real life just dont throw it out there without understanding it
on bgol its cool tho

Sure.

I'm driving until its illegal for me to drive. no fucks given about the kids in the future and what they do. Not opposed to the technology at all. I just enjoy driving.

More details. Thankfully, they have video. Still don't get what some people think while out on the roads. It's like they're trying to commit suicide.

Update: According to Tempe police, the crash happened as the victim, Elaine Herzberg, 49, walked from a center median into a lane of traffic with a bicycle. The San Francisco Chronicle reports that police chief Sylvia Moir said based on videos taken from the car "it's very clear it would have been difficult to avoid this collision in any kind of mode (autonomous or human-driven) based on how she came from the shadows right into the roadway." Still, she could not yet rule out charges against the backup driver, or confirm what might happen if the car itself were found to be at fault.

thats what them greedy fucks get ....

hope the family sue the fuck out of them

I don't know what for...the money is in the crosswalk and the person that got hit wasn't in the money spot.

No way I'm getting in an Uber with no driver.

RIP to the person that lost their life, hopefully the family brings a lawsuit against them that makes them rethink launching this.

Unless the DOT repaints the crosswalk that the pedestrian was struck in, the family bringing the lawsuit will be very disappointed.

I will say this a million times! Self driving cars will never exist! There are too many variables that computers and cameras can not calculate in enough time to save lives.

There will be law firms dedicated to suing the shit out of any manufacturer that decides to put out autonomous vehicles.

...but, that'sbwhat this article is about...they already exist.

Shouldn't this shit have been done in a controlled environment?

Why put peoples lives at risk who aren't participating in this experiment.

Man, these mofos have BEEN being tested in a controlled environment for over 60 years.

As coach used to say, go full speed so we can get a good look for this weekends game, boys.

Casualties are a part of the equation. We just meditate that is never one of our loved ones.

Progress involves death.

...but, that'sbwhat this article is about...they already exist.

100% autonomous vehicles do not exist. Telsa and Mercedes have Auto Pilot, but they are not turn for turn hands off the wheel and pedals autonomous cars.

This is going 10MPH on a predetermined route.

I'm speaking of someone that is able to start in their car at home and have the car drive them to work.

It will never happen....nor should it. How fucking lazy do you have to be to not be able to drive somewhere on your own!

All these driver aids are taking the driver out of the equation and allowing people not to practice defensive driving or even stay alert behind the wheel. It's a joke.

Dude the problem is that people can't drive for shit. You're fighting against a movement that is only growing. There is nothing you can do about it. How many people die in their cars everyday?

 

[man-machine]

I'm surprised by the number of folks against Self driving "Autonomous" but will ride in a Human driven Uber. Uber does almost nothing to certify these people. Some states had to make them perform background checks on drivers. I'll take my chances with Robot cars over humans any day of the week. How many people have died when some Motorist at random has a stroke or heart attack behind the wheel. Also how many people have died when some senior citizen drives into a crowd because they get the brake confused with the gas. Speaking of the Old think how large the grey population is growing in the US as Baby Boomers are now their 50's,60's & 70's. As one of the last of this group I look forward to maintaining my independence throughout my old age. A self driving car would be a huge benefit to that end. Old folks can stay on the road despite physical decline.

 

[SPECTRE1]

This was Google, they used the courts to discover the truth, than exacted revenge by tampering with their code. The message, anybody stealing trade secrets will get got.

These corporations are gangster, more so than street gangs. This is how I would deal with people that fuck with me.

Why do we have to practice defensive driving? Is it because of mechanical failure? Are most of the accidents caused because of brakes just failing? Because gas pedals get suck? Steering wheels failing? Hell no. They are caused by these idiot creatures who refuse to pay fucking attention to what they are doing. About 94 fucking percent of car accidents are caused by human error.

Once these fucking idiots are replaced by machines, shit will be much safer.

You guys don't have to worry. Mass adoption will be slowed because of government greed. I see governments putting a special registration tax on self-driving cars. After all, traffic courts will be shutdown if everyone has self-driving cars that rarely -- if ever -- makes mistakes.

Coocoo cooocoooo

The trial was about them admitting their crime before they took these measures against the company. Much the same Michael falsely pretended to let Carlo go just to get him to admit what he done. Your not going to walk out of Google with trade secrets for some other company.

They did the same thing to Samsung who was running their mouth off about Tizen, a competitor to Android. They made the package bomber in Austin look tame when all those phones blew up. Than sold Motorola to a Chinese company to flood the market with high quality cheap phones.
