The lidar should have enough time to detect the pedestrian (who is crossing the road at a leisurely pace) and reduce speed, yet the car doesn't seem to slow down at all. The whole "dark road" narrative doesn't hold a candle, something is seriously wrong with the sensors and/or algorithm.

And had already crossed an entire lane, they were struck on the right-hand lane of a two-lanes street.
