[QUOTE="BlueMark, post: 1179262, member: 13298"] Yes the pedestrian was foolish to be casually walking across the street like that. But the car had ample time to hit the breaks, even if we assume that its software could only see the exact same imagery that we see in the video, subject to limitations of the camera's visible light sensor. Not enough time to actually avoid hitting the pedestrian but maybe enough to slow down enough to make the collision non-fatal. In reality the car's sensors should have been able to sense a person even in the dark, without being limited to the visible light spectrum.
