Cruise certainly knows.

> Cruise certainly knows Given the number of drivers who seemingly-unknowingly bump and run pedestrians, I wouldn’t be so sure.

Drivers don't typically have signals high-resolution 360 degree views, accelerometers, and other sensors on the outside of an insulated steel and aluminum vehicle piped directly into their sensory experience.

Sure, but if it was easy to interpret the results of all those sensors they wouldn’t be hitting people in the first place.

Have been hit by Uber twice as a pedestrian. Reported it to Uber support, I gave location and time. And they don’t care, support agents keep dropping and handing off the request because the know it will go nowhere. Where’s the regulation of rideshare accident reporting?

Sure they do: grab a convenient traffic cone, put it on its hood, and then read off the VIN at your leisure. Or just walk up on the hood of the stupid murder robot, if you are diggin' your 70's cop show vibe that day.

Have you asked the police to bring charges as a hit and run? I mean, if you can't get Uber to answer, pretty sure the cops can get them to do so.
