This "fail to yield to pedistrians" happens way way way too much though! At least the bug in the robo-taxi could, in theory of course, eventually be fixed. The bug in the human drivers will certainly never be fixed, since this has been a frequent problem since forever and will continue to be a problem as long as human drives (or maybe the USA can just give up on right turns on red like much of the rest of the world).
