> Don’t force a kid to walk in front of your 4,000-pound metal box traveling at god knows what speed

Some consolation, according to the tweet chain, is that it'll be at 5MPH and the child wouldn't be in front of the car (just on the sidewalk approaching the road). Still not sure the need to put an actual child at any risk when the car stopping for a dummy would prove the same point if not stronger.

There's a non-zero chance the Autopilot will think the kid is a freeway center divider and accelerate into it.
