Usually other reflectors are required when riding at night.

But this was a pedestrian, not a cyclist.

Personally, while riding at night, I look like a Christmas tree. $10 on EBay goes far these days in the reflective tape and bike light department:

Well it was a pedestrian but they were walking their bike across the road. It's not like the software should make a distinction between a cyclist in the way and a bicycle with no rider in the way.

In some places (UK for example) you need to have lights on your bike as well--not just reflectors.

If everyone followed the law, this wouldn't have happened for a multitude of reasons. Alas, here we are.
