That's dumb. Fucking German engineering is bullshit. They must be using the same coders we have to deal with to come up with that reasoning..
Why is there no dead man switch-type braking? It shouldn't be in that situation in the first place.
The other car is still likely to have better crash safety than a ped/cyclist so why not aim for that?
Also, if both cars are computer controlled, the can better adjust for safest impact, ie. side to side vs. head on and if one is completely out of control, the other could at least move into the safest position or attempt avoidance.
And the robocar thread is over there, noob >>>
