Yeah. I'm a stickler for accountability falling on drivers, but this really can be an impossible scenario to avoid. I've hit someone on my bike in the exact same circumstance - I was in the bike lane between the parked cars and moving traffic, and someone stepped out between parked vehicles without looking. I had nowhere to swerve, so squeezed my brakes, but could not come to a complete stop. Fortunately, I was going slow enough that no one was injured or even knocked over, but I'm convinced that was the best I could have done in that scenario.

The road design there was the real problem, combined with the size and shape of modern vehicles that impede visibility.

Humans are not going to win on reaction time but prevention is arguably much more important.

How would standard automatic breaking (standard in some brands) have performed here?
