There was no actual collision
The injuries were from hitting the brakes. I've certainly has to brake for people and animals in the roadway before, never considered it an incident. Guess it's different because there were injuries in the bus, which I wouldn't have expected from just braking
I would have. When you slam on your brakes what happens? You go forward in your seat. In your car you're restricted to how far you go by the seatbelt which locks to prevent you going too far. People travelling in buses tend to not wear seatbelts so they'd have flown forward and directly in front of their faces would be the metal bars of the row of seats in front.
The video very clearly shows a collision.
Ok, but that's still the robot's fault. I'm sure the driver thought it was an animal or child at first. People don't get to just wander into the road against a light.
