That's surely helpful for the lady that was run over crossing the street.

Self-driving cars have safety requirements near those of avionics software. 
But the actual requirements on such software is far from the same. I'm 
afraid it will take a bunch of lawsuits to get the automakers in line, and 
quite possibly not even that. (I hear they actively want to avoid making 
software that actually is known to work.)
