The driverless cars of today need some help from the passengers they are carrying when in work zones and around accidents. Would the car without a full time driver be able to sense a small human being walking by it and be able to stop? Probably not, even with LIDAR, a laser beam that makes 3-D models of its surroundings, there are some things that technology cannot comprehend.
