    “And we know what you’re thinking: would the second car have still hit her if it was being driven by a person? It’s a good question. Did being under AI control really make a difference? ”

    No, what I was thinking was: would the first car have still hit her if it was being driven by AI?

    For sure we know it wouldn’t have driven away like the person that hit her initially did.

      Cruise avoiding pedestrian

      In that screenshot, you can see a pedestrian is moving towards the road (but not yet on the road proper, he is still between two parked cars) and the Cruise has already decided to illegally drive with two wheels on the wrong side of the road, over a double yellow line, to avoid driving close to the pedestrian.

      Two seconds later in that video the pedestrian has run into the path of the driverless Cruise car, and the car has stopped. You can view the full video here:
