It's easy to re-phrase the thought experiment without insisting on badly designed auto-drivers, surely.
A child can dash in front of a car from a hidden spot, and eclipse any reasonable braking distance. It's not a moot question - driverless cars WILL need to make these kinds of decisions, eventually - either explicitly or implicitly.
