It wouldn't need zero stopping distance, but rather a low enough stopping distance that the risk of death is very low. Hitting someone at 20 kmph doesn't have very much risk to it I think. 30kmph with half a meter distance to the sides and 2 meters in front is probably enough combined with fast reaction times to avoid the vast majority of deaths in emergency situations.
