I hope if I get hit in that crosswalk they don't shoot me in the head.

I kind of doubt any of the autopilots will be very good at "seeing" and anticipating how wildlife behaves.
When I was in high school, driving home at night from dragging the gut in Salem, there were a half-dozen sheep down in the ditch. I could only see the top halves as I approached.

One of them bolted across the highway. All I ever saw was some wool right in front of the headlight. Fortunately it wasn't open range so I didn't have to pay for the sheep, just the [minimum coverage] car.
