Before we all grab our ankles, you at least acknowledge that we're taking 3mph over here, right? If we held human drivers to the same standards, jails would be even more full.
From early reports, if the seated driver had been in control, this wouldn't have gone any differently as the pedestrian was not in a crosswalk and possibly in a limited line of sight area.
Autonomous cars will f up, don't worry, but it doesn't sound like this is your huckleberry yet.
