It's also plausible that the pedestrian was at fault. Under some circumstances it would be impossible for a human driver to avoid collision with a pedestrian, this may be no different.
- mikepurvis 9y agoMotor vehicle occupants are much more likely to survive than pedestrians and cyclists are. But blaming victims (especially dead ones) has a long and storied history as far as law enforcement and the road. Hopefully with self driving vehicles we can start to move beyond this attitude, especially when there should be ample camera footage available to help dispel the usual claims that the person struck "came out of nowhere" or whatever.
