I've seen a lot of goalpost moving in the other direction on this one, to be honest - Self Driving Cars started as "never have an accident again!" and have slowly migrated to "look, you suck at driving, the robot sucks less, so stop bitching when the robot runs over grandma"

Have you seen the aerial pictures of the area? There's pretty clearly a path through the median that's inviting pedestrians to cross there.
