Ideally, it would always stop.

The fact that sometimes it sometimes stops before hitting a child is not completely comforting.

I don't think ideally is the right mindset to have here. So long as it does better than a human driver and/or better than the current status quo, it's already a great improvement. Of course things can always be better, but just because it isn't ideal doesn't mean it's bad.

I've yet to see evidence that this is the case.

In this particular situation, it's hard to believe that a human driver would have struggled.
