We will see. But it is some coincidence that it would happen to a driverless car, which is 1 of some millionth of all cars on the road at any given time.
During the same time, 10 pedestrians were killed by human driven cars in Phoenix.
But, we get all out of sorts because of 1 pedestrian death by a self-driving car.
I am looking forward to more self-driving cars. I think they will improve road safety by leaps and bounds.
There is no way to prevent the human factor.
