Irrespective of who is at fault here, I think (hope) we can agree that to be considered ready for mass consumption, the technology should mature to a point where an incident like this can be avoided. As noted by the gentleman from EEVblog, the sensors that the vehicle is equipped with should theoretically have been able to detect the pedestrian even though she was not visible to the human eye until an instant before the collision. It is an unfortunate situation, but it will be studied and result in a safer product.
