Regular drivers kill jaywalkers by the boatload.

Are you referring to Elaine Herzberg?

I saw the video.

She walked her bike slowly across the road in an area where there were no lights while cars were speeding by.

Did she believe cars would slow down for her?

The driver doesn't get off here. It was a test car and she was told to watch the road not 'The Voice'.

Nope. The driver still can procreate.

Perhaps you read too quickly and think the pedestrian was the one on the phone - it was the “safety driver”

I can’t figure out why, with so many vehicles having the ability to detect and brake for a pedestrian, self-driven cars would require a known crosswalk to be in the area before the sensors decided an object in the way was worth stopping for...
