Also even if the camera was perfectly accurate about human field of view, no human driver in his right mind would drive so fast with such a poor visibility. Any judge would qualify this as reckless driving.

So either way the software failed:

-If AI misjudged Lidar information and didn’t compute the slow moving pedestrian it’s a fail

-If it didn’t have enough computer vision space it should have slowed down

Possibly in the second scenario the human test driver is at fault too because he should have noticed bad condition and hit the autopilot kill switch.

Is a driver ever at fault when a pedestrian is in the road at night without a crosswalk nor lights nor reflective gear?

In France it’s 100% (in civil cases), unless the driver can prove it’s a suicide. It just goes by kinetic energy: you store it, you are responsible for it. Other people don’t have to dodge your car. And since death penalty is not part of the arsenal, killing a pedestrian is not an appropriate sentence if they commit a infraction that’s punished with a 50€ fine.
