Yes. If a person had been driving the car, she would be alive. THAT is the argument: even with a reduced reaction time, inferior vision and molasses-slow processing, the human has evolved to see other humans.

Lost in all this is the false equivalence about Uber/Tesla autonomy vs. Google autonomy. They aren't even vaguely the same. Google is trying to turn the entire world into a well-defined slot car track while Uber figures they can make a robot who knows how to drive.

Uber is failing.
