    How topical Some More News’ latest video is. My heart goes out to the injured pedestrian and I hope she makes a good, quick recovery.

    The car did what it was programmed to do— unfortunately, that’s not what was best for the time. I think some kind of human override is needed for this type of situation.

    But this feels more like a general car problem than anything. Car infrastructure is typically not pedestrian friendly :(
