But that the car did not sense her, and apply the brakes, again it would have been futile, but it should have responded.
FAIL.
It is interesting that they commented on the person looking down. She was looking down for too long, relying on the technology, but how many times do all of us glance down, for this or the other thing. If you just happened to glance down for a second in this scenario, you wouldn't have seen the person in time to even reach the brakes.
We've got to do better.
