Or, on the other hand, maybe you could look into the work they've already done on this car and see that these are not total idiots working on this project. It might not work out anytime soon, but it won't be because an autonomous car won't be considerably better than a human driver at avoiding low-velocity solid objects like pedestrians.
I realize they're not idiots, and I never said it wasn't something they had considered. I am mostly just curious how liability would work in situations like this.
