Holy cow.

With a pedestrian in / on the edge of the crosswalk. And there was even another car that had been moving just a few seconds earlier stopped there too...

You don't think it was going to stop if the pedestrian stepped out in front? If autonomous cars can't do that, they can't do anything.

Who knows? This Volvo didn't: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsTxS6tg6xc

It's not an autonomous car and that particular car doesn't even have "pedestrian detection system" installed. It only can detect big objects like cars without optional hardware.

It's driverless. Are you sure that Uber had a pedestrian detection system?
