What you're supposed to do has no bearing here. An autonomous vehicle needs to be able to operate where pedestrians misbehave, just the same as humans must.

People do stupid shit because they think they can get away with it. Nearly 100% of the time they can. When they can't, they get signals from cars - they honk. They screech their tires. They swerve.

Trust me - you do not want to live in a society where people blame the human when the robot crushes them where a fellow human wouldn't.
