It seems related to the car not being aware there was an injured person under it.

It's not hard to imagine that it's simply unequipped to know something like that, and it does seem fair to require that it become so equipped.

Huge supporter of autonomous cars, still feel like this is completely reasonable to require a solution for.

I was just trying to think that through a bit myself! Say this situation happens, the car is on someones legs, it realizes it, drives forward and forward is over the head or chest? It's hard to think how you would want to program it to react even if it was aware something was stuck under it. Interesting situation with AV's I'd not considered before.
