There are no details in this article but I can't imagine building a car that does not have a prediction system that constantly updates the car's belief about where other objects in the environment are going to be every few milliseconds. Calling it "Was not programmed to detect jaywalkers" makes it sound like it was the victim's fault only. If the car couldn't detect humans and other moving objects and plan its course accordingly it was a a dumb waypoint follower programmed to look at traffic lights only. It could have run into something or someone else if traffic light detection didn't work correctly even once.
