Bad robot.

The bicycle and rider emerged from a dark shadowed area until it was too late. I bet that’s why the car did not identify it. The driver can be deemed at fault for not keeping her eye on the road but isn’t that the whole point of having a driverless car? We can also argue that the pedestrian was also faulty for not being in a pedestrian lane but that is why we are suppose to drive defensively to try not to worsen other people’s mistakes.
