That event was done by Uber and if the human backup driver was paying attention, as they were supposed to because it was a test run, it wouldn't have happen. Yes the software was at fault of doing what you are saying, but the incident was a test run and the driver should have caught it and report to the engineer, not play on their phone and not pay attention.

Arguing that it happened because the human back up wasn't paying attention isn't a great defense of an autonomous vehicle. The issue isn't that the bug happened, the issue is that that particular bug only comes from doing something fundamentally bad - hardcoding the situation.
