You literally just need to automatically brake if collision with an obstacle is detected. This kind of ADAS already exists in cars that are 10 years old.

Rest in peace baby girl. That one hits hard. If there is an afterlife, I hope shes happy together with them.

It's far more nuanced than that, because it'd be a shame to not be able to move your non-disabled vehicle from a busy roadway after striking an inanimate object because your vehicle assumed you were trying to commit mass murder.

Richard Le, 47, his wife Linh Hoang, 30, and their daughter Katie Le, 5, were among those who died at the Lapu-Lapu Day festival, according to Richard's brother Toan Le.

Katie, the youngest of those who died in this attack, had just finished pre-school, according to Toan.

Toan said Richard had a 16-year-old son, Andy, who had stayed at home that day. Hoang was Andy's stepmom, Toan said, and had raised him like he was her own.



A Monday statement from the New Westminster School Board said Kira Salim was killed at the street party.

It said Salim was a counsellor at both Fraser River Middle School and New Westminster Secondary.

Andy Le will be donating the over $260,000 raised for him to the other victims of this tragedy.

"I'm just destroyed," Samper said Tuesday. "My whole world's taken away from me."

Samper said the family came to Canada in the early 2000s, in part to escape violence in Colombia, and he's now trying to understand what happened and why.

"My parents sacrificed everything in Colombia, their careers, their lifestyle, everything to give us a better future here in Canada," he said. "It just doesn't make any sense. Canada is supposed to be a safe place."

He said his parents were the "nicest people" who helped many others, and the family was "very, very close."

EDIT with more victims:

Vancouver mother Jenifer Darbellay has been identified by family and friends as one of the 11 people killed in Saturday's tragedy.

Her husband, who was injured in the incident, said his physical injuries do not compare to the heartache of losing his wife.

According to an online fundraiser, the couple has two children, aged seven and 15.
