Free Police Crash Reports Online

Some of you may already realize that neck injuries sustained in car accidents can take in some instances, quite a while to bear fruit. However, at the same time you would be surprised at how much money people have lost out on because they have had to pay out medical bills on injuries to themselves that were actually the fault of somebody else many months before.

Many people do not actually realize that you can even get free police accident reports from chiropractors these days.

These free reports are something that can be done and put down on record a matter of minutes or hours after the initial car accident reports.  A chiropractor will be able to spot any damage to the tissues within the neck and its surrounding muscle and will be able to predict the start of a whiplash injury.

A Simple Check Up is All That Is Needed

In dangerous situations our body is very good at masking our pain in order for us to operate at our optimum. Much like in emergencies where we seem to gain extra strength or when being attacked we go into fight or flight mode, these natural responses have been a part of our genetic makeup since humans first existed.

Even once this natural response withers we may only be left with nothing more than a bit of a stiff neck. Does not seem so bad right? You survived a car accident and all you have to show for it is a little bit of a stiff neck. However, that stiff neck when untreated can turn into something a lot worse a few weeks down the line.

You might feel chronic neck pain as your whiplash finally starts to show its true self. However, because all paperwork has been finalized and you have no record of any injuries being found at the time of the accident, you have no hope of having the guilty parties insurance covering your medical costs.

Chiropractors Know What to Look For

A good chiropractor will know how to spot the early signs of whiplash or any other neck or back injury. There diagnosis and treatments will also be recorded so that the required insurance companies get to hear about it.

It is not just medical costs you have to consider either. You might have to take days off from work due to the pain and discomfort. This is a loss of earnings due the injury sustained at the fault of another driver. This loss of earnings in many cases can be claimed back from them as well as any transport costs associated with your medical treatments.

We are the best place to obtain your crash reports, so please make sure you do not miss out by making an appointment straight after any car accident.

Well, the NTSB report on the Uber crash is out.

Here's the important bit:

"According to data obtained from the self-driving system, the system first registered radar and LIDAR observations of the pedestrian about 6 seconds before impact, when the vehicle was traveling at 43 mph. As the vehicle and pedestrian paths converged, the self-driving system software classified the pedestrian as an unknown object, as a vehicle, and then as a bicycle with varying expectations of future travel path. At 1.3 seconds before impact, the self-driving system determined that an emergency braking maneuver was needed to mitigate a collision (see figure 2). 2 According to Uber, emergency braking maneuvers are not enabled while the vehicle is under computer control, to reduce the potential for erratic vehicle behavior. The vehicle operator is relied on to intervene and take action. The system is not designed to alert the operator."

I... really don't have any words for this approach to not hitting people. How on Earth were they driving this thing outside test tracks?

Whose Liability Are Autonomous Cars?

By Radha Chivukula, University Of Pittsburgh Class of 2019

June 4, 2020

In the era of ever-evolving technology, several industries face the possibility of artificial intelligence becoming an integral part of their success. One such industry is the automobile industry- with self-driving cars being the next big trend. Several companies have taken on the challenge of building autonomous cars. So what exactly is a self-driving car? Loosely defined, a car is autonomous when, using a combination of sensors and artificial intelligence (AI), it operates without the input of an external operator (or a driver) (Rouse). This is further elaborated by the levels of autonomy, which are laid out by the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). There are five levels of autonomy starting from level 1, in which the car is equipped with technology to assist the driver in case of emergency by braking or steering, but the driver is still fully responsible for driving the car. The highest level of autonomy is level 5- where the car is equipped to entirely act as a driver and, in theory, the passengers are not required to drive the car at all. (Rouse). However, with development comes new possibilities that must be considered. Needless to say, regardless of how advanced technology may be, there is still a trial process for every product and oftentimes these trials point out glaring issues in the product at a large cost.

One particular incident that occurred in recent years was in 2018, when a self-driving Uber hit and killed a pedestrian in Tempe, Arizona. This was during the period where Uber had first started testing their autonomous cars on the road. Even though this was a self-driving car, there was an operator present that was expected to step in to avoid collision in an emergency situation (Marshall). After further investigation of this issue, it was revealed in a preliminary report by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) that this was a software issue on Uber’s end- because the vehicle’s software wasn’t capable of recognizing a jaywalking pedestrian (Marshall). Because the car was programmed to only halt for pedestrians at crosswalks, the car did not know that it was possible that a pedestrian would unexpectedly cross the street. From a programming point of view, the expectation was that in an exception case like this, the operator of the car would step in and hit the brakes when there was a risk of collision. This brings a new component into the issue- what is the role of the operator that is behind the wheel? Another issue revealed in the investigation was that the training for operating these self-driving vehicles did not include an operational safety division. Because of this, it was more difficult to pinpoint where the issue was. In the official preliminary report of the incident, the NTSB released a statement saying:

“The vehicle was factory equipped with several advanced driver assistance functions by Volvo Cars, the original manufacturer. The systems included a collision avoidance function with automatic emergency braking, known as City Safety, as well as functions for detecting driver alertness and road sign information. All these Volvo functions are disabled when the test vehicle is operated in computer control but are operational when the vehicle is operated in manual control.” (NTSB.gov).

Despite having an operator in the car as the last line of defense, the collision wasn’t avoided due to the fact that the driver was not attentive in time to hit the breaks herself. The NTSB calls this automation complacency- or the human tendency to be less aware in a self-driving car due to the belief that technology works most of the time (Plungis). This incident forced a somewhat large discussion to be opened- how does the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) go about regulating issues that are a result of autonomous cars? In this situation, the NTSB ultimately decided that the fault was in the software on Uber’s side, but this started a much bigger discussion in terms of the legal implications that come with cars that drive themselves. This is clearly an issue with multiple layers- from the software of the self-driving cars, to the role of the operators in the cars, to the rules and regulations that govern the development and use of these automated vehicles. In the event of a traffic violation, or even an accident such as this one, who is at fault if the issue is in the programming of the car itself? Would the operator be liable, and what about in the case where the operator is unable to avoid an accident from taking place? Over time, this issues will need to be addressed even more and it makes one wonder how heavily (or lightly) this industry will be regulated in the future.

EEVblog #1088 – Uber Autonomous Car Accident Report

The NTSB today released the report into the fatal Uber Autonomous car accident. TLDR; The RADAR, LIDAR, and cameras DID detect and classify pedestrian bicycle correctly. The system DID determine that emergency braking was required. But Uber disabled the systems emergency braking feature in autonomous mode. Uber also disabled Volvo’s inbuilt pedestrian safety detection system. There is also no system to alert the driver that the system detected an emergency braking scenario. Uber are rooted.
