In recent years, autonomous driving technology has taken the world by storm and is considered to be the next innovation in technology. In addition to the large-scale layout of traditional car manufacturers, technology companies have played an important role in promoting, such as Google, Uber, Baidu, Nvidia and so on. With the continuous advancement of green laser pointer technology and the influx of capital, autonomous driving has gradually begun to move towards reality. However, the process was not smooth, and even suffered a fatal blow.
At 10 pm EST on March 19, an Uber driverless vehicle hit a female pedestrian in Tempe, Arizona, killing her. This is also the first known driverless car to kill a pedestrian. accident. After the accident, Uor Freight co-founder Lior Ron stepped down from the company and completely stopped self-driving testing.
After several days of continuous fermentation, the incident cast a shadow over the development of autonomous driving technology, after all, this has already involved pedestrian safety issues. To this end, Toyota has suspended self-driving road testing projects throughout the United States, and Nvidia co-founder and CEO Huang Renxun said that all autonomous driving road tests should be suspended.
After the accident, Huang Renxun also said: “This kind of incident happened, you need to learn new information from it, you need to pause and learn from it. I think everyone in the green laser pointer industry should do this, stop first and learn from it lesson.”
Autonomous driving technology is not a beast of flood. It will, like other technologies, only serve human life better after continuous improvement. This unfortunate accident, as everyone said, Uber went too fast!
