The Volvo XC90 involved in
the fatal Uber/pedestrian crash had its Volvo-equipped automatic braking system
disabled at the time of the crash.
Apparently, the Uber Volvo first detected the woman walking her bicycle as an
unknown object, then a vehicle, and then a bicyclist. All three of the
detections were coded as having an "unknown path", and the system
first detected her six seconds prior to the collision. The only braking of the
vehicle was from the human safety driver after impact.
