FOLLOW UP: UBER AV FATALITY LEGAL CASE ENDSThe legal case brought against the test operator, Rafaela Vasquez, who was working for Uber in their autonomous vehicle program who was monitoring the system when it hit and killed Elaine Herzberg five years ago, has ended after she pleaded guilty to endangerment. This has resulted in three years probation but avoids any jail time. Of note is that no charges have ever been brought against Uber or anyone else from the company. Rafaela disputes claims she was watching The Voice on her phone, instead stating she was checking the in-company channel on the app Slack, as the Uber had instructed all operatives to do.

NEW CAR REGISTRATION FIGURES FOR JULY 2023 The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT), have released the registration figures of new cars, for July 2023. Growth continues once again, which is positive news, but it is still over a decade (apart from the previous two years) to find a worse month. EV registration continue to hover around 16%, with diesel continuing to fall. To read more, click this link to the SMMT article. RESEARCHERS JAILBREAK A TESLAWith physical access to a Tesla researchers have managed to access parts of the system that allow them to enable some options and activate them, without handing over their money to the company. As more companies fit all options and then hide them behind extra payments we will likely see a rise in such activities. You can find out more by clicking this TechCrunch article link here.

Remi Lucidi, 30, had a history of climbing various towers around the world whether they be buildings or more obscure structures such as cranes, bridges, pylons or even transmitters. Lucidi, known as ‘Remi Enigma' on social media, had reached the 68th floor of the 721 foot Tregunter Tower in Hong Kong's before his fatal fall. The large and bright 'X' logo that sat on top of the San Francisco headquarters of the company formerly known as Twitter has been taken down. And now, the company will be fined for installing the logo on the roof without a permit. A woman behind the wheel of a self-driving Uber that hit a pedestrian has been in legal limbo ever since. The operator faced negligent homicide charges after a 2018 crash killed 49-year-old Elaine Herzberg. A Washington, D.C.-based sports radio host was fired on Saturday following comments he made about a female TV reporter who was covering the Washington Commanders. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nouveau Backstage d'Histoires d'autos : le 8 novembre dernier, nous nous sommes retrouvés sur Twitter Spaces avec l'analyste Bertrand Rakoto (épisodes 21 et 27) et le journaliste de BFM Business Antoine Larigaudrie (épisode 15) pour échanger sur la voiture autonome. "Après la frénésie des années 2010, le soufflé de la voiture autonome est retombé. Le rêve d'un véhicule capable d'aller du point A au point B sans aucune intervention de ses passagers s'éloigne alors que l'on mesure aujourd'hui l'aspect quasi insurmontable d'une tâche que nous humains pouvons pourtant accomplir sans difficulté. L'industrie de la voiture autonome, qui pensait ringardiser la voiture a papa, semble aujourd'hui au point mort, après avoir englouti entre 75 et 160 milliards de dollars en dix ans (selon les estimations). Après avoir pris le train en marche, les grands constructeurs tirent aujourd'hui le signal d'alarme. Ainsi, Ford et Volkswagen ont décidé d'un commun accord de fermer leur filiale Argo AI, après y avoir investi 3,6 milliards de dollars. Uber a quitté le secteur après l'accident dramatique qui a coûté la vie à Elaine Herzberg dans l'Arizona en 2018. Quant à Tesla et à son fameux “Full Self Driving”, ses progrès sont lents… pour ne pas dire nuls. On va donc faire le point sur l'actualité de la voiture autonome et surtout sur son avenir, avec nos experts."

On March 18, 2018, Elaine Herzberg of Phoenix, Arizona was the first person to be killed by a self-driving car. This brought into question the complicated issue of accountability when AI makes a mistake, who do we hold responsible for this type of accident? However, on the other end of the spectrum, if AI produces something marvelous, who takes ownership of this? That is the topic of discussion on today’s episode. Joining me on today’s show is Sekou Campbell, an attorney whose practice focuses on the meeting place between art and technology and his clients have included an AI music composition software company and other art-focused startups. His practice includes intellectual property, media and entertainment, and startups. He is also a partner of Culhane Meadows law firm. In addition to Campbell, we are also joined by Maya Ackerman, an expert on AI and Computational Creativity, she is the CEO and co-founder of WAVE AI, that allows anyone to create original songs in minutes using its AI-based tool ALYSIA. She is also an invited speaker at the United Nations, Google, IBM Research, Stanford University, to name a few. On this show, we discuss how attitudes towards tools used to produce music have changed over the years, what AI's influence in art means for the artists, and what are the legal implications surrounding ownership of art produced by AI. Music credits - Believe in Us: Dusti Miraglia (producer - backing track), Sara Miraglia & Maya Ackerman (vocalists) ALYSIA was used as a songwriter (for lyrics/vocal melodies).

An Arizona prosecutor has determined that Uber is not criminally liable in the death of a Tempe woman who was struck by a self-driving test car last year. "After a very thorough review of all the evidence presented, this Office has determined that there is no basis for criminal liability for the Uber corporation arising from this matter," the Yavapai County Attorney's Office wrote in a letter to the Maricopa County Attorney's Office. Tempe is in Maricopa County, but Yavapai County took the case due to a potential conflict of interest. Elaine Herzberg, 49, was walking a bicycle across the road at night when she was fatally struck by a Volvo SUV outfitted with an Uber self-driving system in March 2018. The car had a human operator behind the wheel but was in computer control mode at the time of the crash. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

On March 18, 2018, one of Uber's autonomous test vehicles struck and killed a pedestrian named Elaine Herzberg as she crossed a street in Tempe, Arizona. In the year since the first fatality caused by an autonomous vehicle a lot has changed in the sector, both internally at developers and in public perceptions of the technology. Alex, Kirsten and Ed look back at the tragic event and tumultuous aftermath and discuss what went wrong and what we can learn from the incident.

Autonomous vehicles - perhaps the biggest AI disruption on the horizon - are back in the news again with a tragic accident in Tempe, Arizona involving Uber and a self-driving test vehicle. The accident occurred during a test when a woman, 49-year old Elaine Herzberg, was struck while crossing the road at night. By all accounts, this shouldn't have happened. What does it mean for Uber and the development of self-driving cars? What's next for the industry and how do we deal with such inevitable tragedies?

On Sunday, March 18th, at approximately 10pm, an Uber was operating in self-driving mode when the vehicle struck and killed 49-year-old Elaine Herzberg. Initial reports say that Elaine was walking her bicycle across the street when the Uber struck her. At this time, facts are limited, but at a press conference in Tempe, AZ, officials said that Elaine was crossing the street outside of a crosswalk area when the Uber struck her while traveling at approximately 40 mph.  I suspect that the car's sensors did not identify Elain or her bicycle as an obstacle or pedestrian. In this episode, Robert Solano explores this incident and discussed the potential impacts to the development of self-driving car technology. Phoenix has been a great test environment for companies like Waymo and Uber. The moderate climate makes it ideal for early-stage development.  In addition to the low cost of living, the "business friendly and low regulatory environment" provides an attractive alternative to the very expensive and dense Silicon Valley and San Francisco area where many tech companies are headquartered. Uber had been testing their self-driving fleet in Arizona in addition to Pittsburg and other areas. In total, the fleet of Uber self-driving vehicles had accumulated approximately 3 million miles at the time of this accident. In other words, the current accident fatality rate of the Uber fleet is about 1 fatality in 3 million miles driven. In contrast, the national fatality rate for human drivers is about 1.18 deaths per one hundred million miles driven. MAny advocates of self-driving cars claim that they will have better safety rates than humans, but this fatality puts self-driving car technology at a steep uphill battle to match the human fatality rate. This accident illustrates three key elements of self-driving car technology and development. 1) There are weaknesses to single driver fleets. Waymo CEO John Krafcik boasted that Waymo was trying to develop the most experienced driver ever. He claimed that all of the vehicles in the Waymo fleet were essentially the same driver and shared their lessons learned and experiences with each other. At first, that idea seems great, but there are serious implications if that hardware or software has a flaw. As a result of this accident, the entire fleet of Uber self-driving vehicles is suspended from further road testing.  Since Uber has a small fleet of these vehicles, suspending their services is not a big deal. But in the future, if a company has a much larger fleet, then suspending a service could potentially leave customers without a ride-hailing service Today, there are tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of Uber cars in operation around the world. Many people depend on them for transportation. There would be a severe econmic impact if all of the Uber (or Lyft, or Taxis) all suddenly stopped operating simultaneously. The one-driver model sounds good for machine learning, but it severely reduces the redundancy that is inherently built into our current system where each human is unique and we all operate thousands of different are makes and models. 2) This accident will delay the deployment of self-driving technology by 12 to 18 months. Opponents of self-driving technology will use this incident as a perfect example to push for stricter regulations, testing, and monitoring of self-driving car development. Additionally, companies will become more cautious. The result is that the deployment of self-driving car fleets will be delayed 12-18 months. 3) Company ethics are crucial to self-driving car technology. Too many academics are focused on the ethics of machine decision making.  They talk about topics like the Trolley Problem ad nausea. More focus should be spent on discussing company ethics since company ethics will play a huge role in driverless car technology. Uber has been embroiled in scandal since 2014. They have been accused of spying on famous people and p...
