But I think we should at least expect it to perform as well as a sober driver. I'm sure the woman would be alive today if there were a human driving the car.
Humans don't "see" stuff just because the light is entering their eyeballs. A human driver could have been checking their mirrors, the radio, distracted by another pedestrian on the other side of the road, and or just plane not registered the person. The motorcycle safety course teaches you to not use eye contact as a means of determining that a driver "sees" you. That's right, an attentive driver actively looking for on coming traffic during daylight can "see" right through you.
I'm really, literally sure she would not have been hit by that car had she not walked out in front of it..
