If that person is close enough to the car for it to detect and record, it is much like someone entering your 'personal space' at which you tend to be alert. Now people walking down the street - in the same direction do not invoke avoidance, but people travelling the other way - when you may walk into them are detected and avoided. Same with moving cars - in the same lane, going the same way = safer than coming at you in any close land - you will watch and avoid, so does the Tesla car
