The police are comparing what would have happened if the driver was human. But Ai cars are supposed to have larger range of view. I personally feel waymo car would have probably noted and avoided the woman. And with lidar it's being dark is actually no excuse as it wouldn't matter.
I mean, there was a human in the car too, and the human's statement was that the first sign that there might be a collision was after the collision occurred.
Right, because "I was bored out of my mind and wasn't paying attention until an actual crash happened" is a statement that the human would have totally made if that were the case.
