To be fair, jaywalking at night away from any streetlights on a road with a 45 mph speed limit is a risky endeavor whether or not there are autonomous cars on the road. It seems likely the outcome would have been the same if the car was being operated by a typical human driver.

The car spotted the pedestrian 5.6 seconds before the crash, but didn't have the brains to know what to do.

The main argument for self driving cars is that they have better sensors and reaction time than humans, but clearly those things aren't enough.
