MODERATORS
The article title is misleading as usual.
The car collided after hitting the brakes, seems there wasn't any real damage. It seems the system is designed to only lessen the impact when it detects the obstacle as non-human. If it would have recognized the robot as human, it would have probably acted differently.
Better to hit the object and lessen the impact than to fully brake/avoid and risk worse.
