Also, the lack of slowing down may be a strong indication that the car's ability to detect anything in front of it may be flawed. She was in the road for long enough to cross 1 1/2 lanes and the car didn't pick her up, jaywalking or not. Further the fact that it was being tested with a person behind the wheel "just in case" but that person wasn't paying attention, doesn't really help the defense.

Again, slam dunk.
By not having required lighting, driver would most likely not have seen.
It doesnt matter how far she got across road. No different than driver that runs an intersection.
She was REQUIRED to follow all Motor Vehicle Laws. She pulled out in front of vehicle. |
Except she was walking, not riding the bike...
