I've been in the States in 1987 for 3 weeks total, we drove a hire car for 2 weeks of which I had about 1500 miles of driving.
During which I literally had to swerve round pedestrians in the middle of a busy multi lane interstate TWICE. That is 2 times more than in the rest of my life.
My 2 friends also drove 1.500 miles each without such incidents though.
I saw the Waymo incident on Youtube and it seems that the low beams on the car were very low. The driver wasn't attentive, but even if she was she'd have less of a second between first visual contact and impact; hardly enough to start reacting, completely chance-less to avoid the collision.
That pedestrian should not have stepped in the road like that. But even so, why were the low beams set so low? Who's responsible for lining them up correctly?
