A driverless ride-hailing car operated by Chinese tech giant Baidu was involved in an incident with a pedestrian in the city of Wuhan. The incident occurred when the car reportedly began moving as the light turned green and had minor contact with the pedestrian who was crossing against the light. The pedestrian was taken to a hospital for examination, which revealed no obvious external injuries.
The incident has sparked discussions about the challenges that autonomous driving technology faces in complex situations. Experts have noted that autonomous vehicles may have limitations when dealing with unconventional behavior, such as pedestrians or other vehicles violating traffic laws.
