So you’re saying that if a human had been behind the wheel, that THEY should have run them down.

The computer stopped for the person in front of them.
The person would have stopped for a person in front of them.

What’s the difference?

No. No I'm not. Additionally, no I didn't.

The difference is, a human would have slowed down for a person in the crosswalk and accelerated as soon as the person had passed the vehicle...keeping an eye on the vehicle approaching from the rear...keeping ready to accelerate and drive around the person in front. We do it all the time as human drivers.

The computer apparently isn't that well programmed. It clearly came to a complete stop for the jaywalker with no sense of, or regard for, the car coming from the rear.

Running over the jaywalker isn't an option in either scenario. Don't be intentionally obtuse.
