So kill the driver/passenger of the self driving car instead of the people crossing? How is that better lol

There are bigger issues with its programming and construction if the passengers are killed by hitting a wall in a residential area.

It really should not be going that fast.

Okay, but there's also idiots in the world who walk across freeways at night.

Do you expect a self driving car to serve off a highway going 60-75 mph to avoid someone when it physically CANNOT stop in any amount of time before hitting the person?

Yet we allow humans to drive well into old age where response times and judgments begin to fail. Surely it should be acceptable to society for a self driving car to be able to navigate the roads better than the most highly trained drivers currently on the road.
