While I agree that the test is unfair (because of breaking capabilities), this is by no means a crazy situation that wouldn’t happen in a city or a place with tons of children. The important question this rises, and the most important question regarding self-driving cars in general is: who is liable? Until that question is settled in court I don’t think I’d feel comfortable using the self-driving capabilities of a Tesla.

It's not unfair but realistic! No one expects all cars to always perfectly breake in all situations. But Tesla breakes far from perfectly. And this isn't the first time Tesla has worse then everyone else results in emergency breaking system tests.

The driver is liable. You wouldn't use cruise control on city streets with pedestrians around. You shouldn't use the self-driving features either. If we're really talking about automated driving where humans are only passengers, that's an entirely different kettle of fish.
