That’s a very good question. They may have been distracted by other tasks involved w/monitoring the car’s performance or they may have just been bored, thinking their services weren’t necessary. Or – I think this less likely – it may have been physically impossible to stop or steer the car away from the pedestrian in that situation. Fact is, the driverless car hit the pedestrian. The question as I see it isn’t whether the pedestrian was at fault or not. It is whether a driver operated car would have hit and killed her or not. Until we mere Car Talk posters are allowed to see the actual camera evidence, it’s all speculation at this point.
