View of Uber self-driving system data playback at about 1.3 seconds before the Volvo SUVs struck Herzberg. At this point, the vehicle's self-driving system had determined an emergency braking maneuver would be needed to mitigate a collision. Yellow bands are shown in meters ahead. Orange lines show the center of mapped travel lanes. The purple shaded area shows the path the vehicle traveled, with the green line showing the center of that path. (National Transportation Safety Board)
Results NTSB Investigation
NTSB says the autonomous Uber that struck and killed Herzberg spotted her about 6 seconds before hitting her, but didn't slow down because the vehicle's built‐in emergency braking feature was disabled. v Emergency braking maneuvers are not enabled while Uber's cars are under computer control. That's a measure designed "to reduce the potential for erratic vehicle behavior”. v Uber's autonomous driving system "relies on an attentive operator to intervene if the system fails to perform appropriately during testing." The system is not P designed to alert the driver. v Herzberg wore dark clothing and did not look in the direction of the vehicle until just before impact. A toxicology report showed that she tested positive for methamphetamine and marijuana. P Also, the bicycle had no side reflectors and the front and back reflectors were perpendicular to the Uber SUV. E No pedestrian crossing in the vicinity E Uber's driver said she had been monitoring the "self‐driving interface.“ She declined using phone at the time of the crash. P
