That particular lady was seen by the vehicle in question, but the idiot tester had shut off the part of the system that might have prevented the impact, or at least limited it. But, the system also has to recognize when its limits have been exceeded, or systems degraded too far for safety. However, I do see it as entirely possible for some well defined areas and conditions, which include some types of delivery operations, be it for packages or people. You'll need a level of artificial intelligence and sensor redundancy that simply isn't available yet, and probably won't be, at a practical price point, for quite some time. Much of the hype and hope you hear from the proponents appears to come from a form of 'magical thinking'. I know too much about the problems and the current state of technology to be comfortable with fully autonomous vehicles across the range of driving situations. May 12, 2020I know a state that'd love to be the test bed - if it wasn't for that homeless lady who walked in front of one of the self-driving cars a few years ago.

Centrally controlled trucks would also eliminate noob drivers getting lost and wasting delivery time trying to find a house or a business. Having the truck do the driving from a centralized optimized delivery route that could be modified on demand by the end customer (as a premium service) wold also free up the attendant/driver/cargo-operator to do data-gathering like scanning codes and taking delivery confirmation pictures.

Happens quite often with UPS around here, the police specifically watch for and ticket parked UPS trucks because 9/10 times the driver is usually piss drunk or stoned. It would also prevent the driver from parking the truck for six hour then marking everything delivered and leaving the load for the next day's crew to figure out. This would resolve some of the routing issues we've witnessed. Self-driving delivery trucks would be the next logical step, guided by GPS and Maps to the destination, attendant unloads the package and the truck continues onward. I mean I've worked with computers enough to know that is the exact outcome in these kinds of conflict. Too many people log in to request a diversion, the truck explodes. My biggest concern with being able to co-opt a self-driving delivery truck would be handling multiple requests all at once.
