Police Release First Video From Inside the Uber Self-Driving Car That Killed a Pedestrian (recode.net)

Posted by BeauHD on from the viewer-discretion-advised dept.

An anonymous reader quotes a report from Recode: Three days after an Uber self-driving vehicle fatally crashed into a pedestrian in Tempe, Ariz., police have released video footage of what the vehicle saw with its cameras moments before running the woman over, and what happened inside the vehicle, where an operator was at the wheel. The video footage does not conclusively show who is at fault. However, it seems to confirm initial reports from the Tempe police that Herzberg appeared suddenly. It also showed the vehicle operator behind the wheel intermittently looking down while the car was driving itself.

    First why is there light shining on the driver? wouldn't that blind them? I don't think that's ambient light because the passenger seat and walls are not illuminated like the driver is.

    Second, what is with the coming out of the back of the driver's head? Seriously look at the video.
