For self driving cars, for a machine, we would not find what a human can do, does, to be acceptable.

There was that event where a self driving car hit a lady walking a bike on a dark road. Apparently the self driving car recorded the video. I saw the story several times I don't recall a single person wondering it a human would have avoided hitting the lady who chose to cross the road at a very poor place to do so.

I am not defending the machine. I am not am not a techno-nerd. Just trying to point out that nothing is perfect.
