If this was indeed the overall scenario, there are few factors I could think of that would excuse a human driver here:
1. Another car was in the lane left of the fatal car, blocking its view of the pedestrian.
2. The pedestrian fell back after reaching the curb.
But it looks like both the artificial and the human driver were asleep.

- InclinedPlane 9y agoMaybe that car had stopped for the pedestrian. We're not going to actually know what happened until the video is released.
- saalweachter 9y agoRandom note: drivers, when you are on a two-plus lane road, do not randomly stop (when their is no designated yield) to let pedestrians cross/other drivers turn. Cars in the other lanes may (probably, even) not stop, causing an accident. It probably is completely unrelated to this event, but it’s an anti-pattern by well-meaning drivers.
