I wrote software for that bus! I’m glad it didn’t hit the pedestrian because of a bug in one of the rtos drivers. Instead it crashed due to a bug in the human drivers.

It is a bug in the safety case. Single point of failure. Is not even ASIL B ( error - pedestrian hit - but no diagnosis - no big warning "overrighting controls could result in human injury"). If I was the Safety expert for such a project i would have never given a green light for this.

My reaction: Why did the bus not have a couple buttons in between 'Stop' and 'Go' - something like 'Creep Forward' and 'Go Cautious and Very Slow' - for crowded and uncertain situations? (I have no background whatever in self-driving vehicles, nor their software.) Might you be able to address that aspect?
