I wonder if the pedestrian is at all to blame, ie, Jay walking, not looking both ways, etc. I mean, it’s not ALWAYS the car or drivers fault if a pedestrian is hit even in a regular car.
I guess the Tesla not seeing that truck and hitting it at full speed was not counted.

How many regular cars are on US roads verse autonomous?
I'm not say autonomous car are horrible, but some people put too much faith in them at these early stages.
