The one time I was hit by a car as a pedestrian was a driver who wasn't paying attention. He was making a perfectly legal left turn at a green light, except for the pedestrians in the way (me and my girlfriend).

The danger with an autonomous vehicle is it not seeing you. The danger with a driver is not noticing you.

I'd think that with the radar systems in place today, vehicles would have far greater reliability in "seeing" you.

But that doesn’t require self-driving, but a commonly implemented emergency brake in a ‘normal’ car.
