Thread:Comments:Uber suspends self-driving car program after pedestrian death in Arizona, United States/Speeding, human driver also responsible/reply (4)

I think the officer statement could perhaps be interpreted as 'at this speed, the death would be unavoidable, no-matter who or what was driving'. I doubt he meant 'if a human driver decided to travel at a slow speed then the death would also be inevitable'. Statistical outlier means that statistically the chances of a pedestrian coming there are so low that a majority of drivers would not decide to slow down, perhaps? I could argue that is a signal to improve driver education.
