The system design did not include a consideration for jaywalking pedestrians.

A National Transportation Safety Board report concluded that the Uber self-driving SUV that hit and killed a jaywalking Arizona  pedestrian in March 2018 “could not determine whether [the victim] was a pedestrian, vehicle, or bicycle.” Uber has committed to prioritizing future safety for their vehicles but many believe that “We need smart, strong safety rules in place for self-driving cars to reach their life-saving potential.” (Associated Press - November 7, 2019)
