The lidar should have enough time to detect the pedestrian (who is crossing the road at a leisurely pace) and reduce speed, yet the car doesn't seem to slow down at all. The whole "dark road" narrative doesn't hold a can

SystemC and every other high level synthesis language, has to be translated to VHDL/verilog first. That's a big difference with software land. HDLs are not bad, but not having the option to explore better options is bad
