MODERATORS
Did this car have autonomy for it to crash into a group of people, or did a driver do the murdering?
Headlines really need to convey who's responsible.
The car didn't crash into a group of bikes. A car driver crashed into a group of people riding bikes.
I'm just happy this wasn't in the passive voice tbh
In Australia the driver is always responsible. We have no cars allowed to self drive, though we do have cars with a lot of autonomy.
Also autonomy systems are better at emergency braking than human drivers, the fact the car hit a tree hard enough to leak petrol suggests there was no braking at all
