Take Two on Driverless Collision With Pedestrian: Maybe the Car Was the Least Culpable of All Parties Involved

Lot of blame to go around, from the human minder in the car who was not minding it, but reading his phone, to the pedestrian herself who came out of nowhere and was only visible a second before the collision, to the urban planning that created this strange pseudointersection where a brick path leads, it appears, to a crossing in the street -- but signs say not to use the brick path, as it's for... visual aesthetic only, or something.

The brick path creates an obvious shortcut that few humans would be able to deny themselves but a couple of signs tell you "This obvious shortcut isn't a shortcut, don't use it." It leads you to a convenient highway crossing, except it's not a highway crossing, as it's uncontrolled by lights and unsafe to cross.

Especially at night.

See John Sexton's piece. It's good.
