    And that’s fine. But if it’s unable to recognize any object in the road, it’s not fit for purpose. The fact that the object was a person just makes it so much worse.

      Agreed. I’m not defending Cruise at all. They should have humans in the car if they are testing. Or at least a drone-style driver sitting in a room watching a camera feed. I wonder if the car thought there was just a speed bump ahead. Some speed bumps are striped similar to crosswalks. I can see situations where the autopilot can’t determine if something is a speed bump or genuine obstruction (either false positive or negative).
