There's also this quote from the article:
"The trouble started, the couple said, when their 10-year-old son was nearly hit by one of the vehicles while he was playing in a nearby cul-de-sac."
Driving annoyingly cautiously is definitely unwanted. However, running over one child will see the technology shelved for about two generations, at least. So I can see why at this point the algorithms are still made such that the car stops at any sign of potential trouble.
