Will most human drivers?

Most will assume this, the correct question would be: Would most human react fast enough?

I've been driving a long time. I rarely see people hit their brakes when a ball comes out, or even slow down. My anecdotal evidence from 300,000 miles of driving says this isn't the case.

Should we not expect both to?

I would expect both to, but for me the baseline is "as good as the average human". So in that vein, not predicting a child after a ball is still better than the baseline.
