Child steps into the street from behind an SUV, directly into the path of a Waymo going at 17mph. Waymo immediately brakes hard, but hits the child at 6mph. Child sustains minor injuries. Waymo calls 911 and remains on the scene until police arrive. Waymo employees also call NHTSA to report the same day. Waymo estimates that a human, even if not distracted, would have hit the child at 14mph: https://t.co/Qvj6gANSEy
