Reducing speed is great, but isn't a swerve called for in that situation?

Do we know if there was space to swerve? I'm wondering if there was a vehicle next to the car, would swerving into it help slow down the Waymo or would it cause lose of breaking power and end up hitting the person at a faster speed?

not if the swerve would put you headlong into oncoming traffic
