A human driver was behind the wheel too, so both human and AI had failed. Seems the woman inadvertently posed the greatest challenge possible to a vehicle.

This underscores my point that laws saying a vehicle always has the duty to yield to pedestrians is dangerous. It programs people to believe vehicles will always stop for them, when the assumption should be just the opposite.

Although I don't enjoy watching videos where people are killed, it would be interesting to see how the incident unfolded. I'm assume that footage will never be released.
