I have first-hand experience with such a case, and I disagree. I avoided hitting a kid that I think any AI would have killed.
I'm driving southbound on Fair Oaks in Sunnyvale, approaching Arques. On the corner is a mini strip mall with a small parking lot.
Out of the corner of my eye, I see a young child, maybe 4 years old, running around that parking lot being chased by his mother or caretaker.
Now, being well off the road and out of its universe of conditions that would be considered by an AI, he would be ignored. But I just knew, somehow, that this was trouble.
The kid, thinking this is a fun, impromptu chase game, then sprints directly into traffic right in front of me. I stop with a foot to spare.
Edge conditions: it's what's for dinner. (tm)
