Because it was trying to decide if it's a shopping bag or a bike or a human or a squirrel...for six seconds, long enough to stop multiple times. The problem, from what we know so far, wasn't "car didn't see her," it was "car wasn't sure what it was, therefore squirrel." And the larger point stands: "protect occupants, ignore outsiders" is a choice in the TP, always choosing the same strategy is not "TP is irrelevant."
