But magic _is_ required. A reasonable field of view to assess the hazard or approaching kid on the bike might, quite easily, be available from the car, but not 20m away looking toward the car.
Case in point. That car in the video that turns into the car park looks like comes from behind the guy with the phone. Someone in the car, or the self driving sw, should have seen it far earlier. Maybe even noticed an indicator, or deceleration.
