Thread:Comments:Uber suspends self-driving car program after pedestrian death in Arizona, United States/Speeding, human driver also responsible

I would say the car was speeding. It needed to move slower. The speed limits are maximum but the drivers need to make conscious decisions and drive to conditions. If it was dark the car needed to go way slower (the SI units for this were 61km/h or so). The above materials are mandatory read for all Sydney drivers before obtaining a non-learner driving permit.
 * "If road conditions are less than ideal, for example rain, heavy traffic, night time etc, you may be speeding even if you’re driving at or below the posted speed limit" http://www.rms.nsw.gov.au/roads/licence/documents-forms.html#RoadUsers%27Handbook
 * "Research shows that speeding is more common at night, particularly by inexperienced drivers. This may be due to having fewer indicators of how fast you are going when it is dark. It is harder to see how quickly objects like trees and poles flash by." http://www.rms.nsw.gov.au/roads/licence/documents-forms.html#HazardPerceptionHandbook
 * "Unfortunately, not all cyclists know or obey the road rules. You may even find cyclists riding against the traffic, riding through red traffic lights and riding without lights at night. This means that your scanning needs to be constant and careful when driving in daylight or darkness." http://www.rms.nsw.gov.au/roads/licence/documents-forms.html#HazardPerceptionHandbook

I would personally suggest to hold the driver responsible for this not only the self driving car technology.
