Interesting fact. The girl darted from behind a double-parked SUV. Double-parked by a human.

Double-parking is not illegal.

Double-parking is expected near elementary schools.

Human drivers can see through and around double parked vehicles.

Human drivers expect people to get in and out of vehicles, but especially ones there to pick up or drop off passengers.

The automated car wasn't programmed for that and the remote operator was... well... who knows?

“Double-parking is not illegal.”

Stop posting fake facts. Someone might believe you and get a ticket.

Stop posting falsely.

You don’t know what is programmed.

There was no intervention by a remote operator before the accident.

Then why do we keep seeing people exiting vehicles getting hit?
