Re: Uber pulls self driving cars

this does not strike me as an unreasonable environment for a speed limit of 45.

If you go into StreetView and back up a 100 feet, there's a sign "Begin Right Turn Lane Yield To Bikes".

If the collision occurred at the red circle in the times article, it occurred in the right turn lane. There's a blue (appears green on some views) direction sign attached to a lamp post on one side that obscures the line of sight from the car to somebody walking behind it to cross the street. Naturally, the sign is in front of a paved walking path.

Roadway doubles in width from 30 to 60 ft to accommodate 2 left turn lanes and 1 right turn lane. If vision system did see pedestrian, it could conclude pedestrian was on sidewalk because it was too early to see sidewalk move to right to make room for right turn traffic lane.
