   Yahoo has a picture of the UBER fleet of Ford Fusion Energi vehicles on their front page.   Sadly it's with the story regarding the death of a woman due to an autonomous driving vehicle.

When you read the article, it is actually a UBER Volvo involved in the fatality.    Sad situation, but in the not too distant future, this technology will save lives. It will also allow an aging population to remain mobile.

It's tragic, but it's also the first pedestrian death out of thousands if not millions of self-driving hours logged on the roads over more than 5 years. And if it was the car at fault, no doubt the engineers will rectify the flaw that led to this tragedy, and prevent it from happening again.

 

Meanwhile thousands of pedestrians die per year in the US alone, from accidents with human drivers.
