"I see a human, better give him wide berth". Certainly, the ability to
detect and deal with pedestrians will be required before these things
become street-legal.  

I can easily imagine that next-years grand challenge, or the one

motorcyclists, pedestrians, children and dogs. Exactly how they'd test
this, however, I don't know ...
