Emergency brakes werenât on in Uber self-driving car crash
The US National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has revealed that emergency braking maneuvers in Uber's self-driving car, which killed a pedestrian in March, were not enabled. At 1.3 seconds before impact, it was determined that emergency braking was needed to mitigate a collision, NTSB said. While the human operator is relied on to intervene, the system didn't alert the driver.
