No, the fact is that the child sustained minor injuries. And, fact: no human driver made the decision to drive a vehicle in that exact position and velocity. Imagining a human-driven vehicle in the same place is certainly valid, but your imagination is not fact. I imagine that the kid would be better off if no vehicle was there. But that's not a fact, that's an interpretation -- perhaps the kid would have ended up dead under an entirely different tire if they hadn't been hit by the waymo!
This is a good point. Cars should be banned near schools. That is a logical conclusion given the facts.
Considering school buses kill children every year, do we ban them near schools as well?
That is not a logical conclusion given the facts.
