So pay more attention. (I bet you did for quite some time after that, maybe still do)
Maybe some radar based breaking system combined with the camera or some **** would have prevented it...maybe. Making sure you knew your surroundings and paying attention. More and more people are gladly shifting responsibility off of themselves and onto tech. and I think it's a very very unwise thing to do.
At the end of the day if you run over a pedestrian but your car was equipped with some autonomous breaking system, no one's suing the manufacture, they're suing OR prosecuting the driver.
