Police Release Video Of Driverless Uber Slamming Woman Crossing Road [VIDEO]

Police in Tempe, Ariz., released video of an autonomous Uber SUV hitting and killing a woman who was crossing the street Wednesday, the first video of the crash.

In the dashboard camera footage, 49-year-old Elaine Herzberg can be seen crossing the road Sunday evening with her bicycle moments before impact, with the car making no apparent effort to stop.

A second angle shows an operator in the driver’s seat of the SUV, required in the driverless test vehicles, looking into his phone and becoming startled at the impact. Police did not share video of the actual hit, “due to the graphic nature of the impact,” according to Fox News.

WATCH:

Police say the vehicle was traveling around at 38 mph in a 35 mph zone along the unlit road, and Herzberg was not walking on a crosswalk. Two experts told the Associated Press that the Volvo’s laser sensors should have been able to see the woman and at least attempt to brake.

“It absolutely should have been able to pick her up,” Sam Abuelsamid, an analyst for Navigant Research studying driverless cars, told the AP. “From what I see in the video it sure looks like the car is at fault, not the pedestrian.”

Uber has suspended testing of all vehicles across the country, and after...

The FBI is discounting ISIS’ claim that the Las Vegas attack was jihad. But is the FBI really trustworthy?

The Islamic State says Steven Paddock converted six months ago. He filmed himself killing; jihadis do that and post it online. The attack was meticulously planned, as jihad attacks are, and Paddock likely had an accomplice. Paddock made numerous trips to the Middle East. Over200 of his foreign financial transactions were flagged for possible “covert terrorism financing.”

Contrary to the ignorant, misinformed and delusional talking heads in the media, ISIS does not take responsibility for events that are not theirs. This has led even the New York Times’ terrorism expert to give credence to ISIS’ claims. The Philippines attack at Resorts World Casino was theirs. And there again, ISIS’ initial claims of responsibility were dismissed.

The Los Angeles Times reported Saturday that “the FBI investigated the Orlando mass shooter for 10 months -- and found nothing.”

The Orlando jihadi who opened fire on gay nightclub revelers at the Pulse Nightclub called 911 during the attack and pledged his allegiance to the Islamic State. The FBI investigated the Orlando mass shooter for 10 months and found nothing.

The FBI was warned of the Muslim Boston bombers -- multiple times -- and did nothing. Their inaction led to the Boston Marathon bombings.

And in another case, an FBI translator married the ISIS fighter that she was supposed to be investigating.

The FBI was in on the planning of the jihad attack against the Garland Muhammad art expo in Garland, Texas. They did nothing to stop it, not even giving us a warning that my event was targeted by devout Muslims who meant to kill us Charlie Hebdo-style. We killed those jihadis. It was the security team I hired to protect my event that saved...
