The problem is that you could apply that argument for a drunk driver, a distressed driver, a driver without a license, a driver that hasn't slept enough, etc.

Any of those could mean a car could randomly turn into the crosswalk.
Humans are horrible at assessing risk. We worry about Teslas because it's on the headlines now, but you're infinitely more likely to get ran over by one of the cited examples than a Tesla just by sheer statistics.
- ragingrobot 5y agoNever mind the driver who can't wait the two to five seconds for the pedrestrian to cross, which is probably far more common than the above, and rather intentional. TBH I don't think it's ever crossed my mind whether a Tesla was in FSD or not, even when driving alongside one. As long as it doesn't enter my space, I'm fine. Walking through Manhattan, I'm more worried about the human driver nowadays than the non-human.
