How about if the data on the car indicates that the female walked out jay walked in front of the car and there was nothing mathematically that could have been done.

Well, many worried of something like this happening with self driving cars. Maybe this will be a blessing in disguise. This should at least slow the progress for self driving cars becoming a normal thing.

They (probably) can't actually read body language and recognize that a pedestrian (for example) is totally obvious to you and may be about to cross the road.
I suppose its the one flaw in the self driving car revolution... How do you mathematically predict the general stupidity of human behaviour?

And how many people die per day by car accidents?

Apparently around 3,300 a day. The goal of self-driving cars is actually to reduce this number by linking and controlling all cars. Of course, there will be failures along the way, but the alternative is to just keep chalking these daily deaths up to "acceptable losses," because damned if we don't love our cars.

Personally, I think self driving cars are an insult to human intelligence. I know there are a lot of idiots on the road but they are a minority and when they screw up, they get punished. I know the punishments are sometimes too light for the offence but that's a different discussion.
How do you punish a robot?

Maybe I'm wrong but deep down I just don’t believe self-driving cars will work too well.

You know what make good self driving cars?
Trains
Keep that bs off the streets.
Too many variables to consider that computers can't compute.
