It's a bit unsettling that everyone involved is considering the robot to be an autonomous entity and the company that operates it isn't even mentioned once.
If I was walking my dog, let it off the leash, and it ran into the middle of the road, causing a bus to brake and some people to be hurt, will I get into trouble for negligence?
Looks like the company will get into some shit for the same issue.

It's a piece of equipment. Treat it as one.
Yeah, what a weird "conclusion".

So the training that will probably be given to bus drivers is... Don't brake for clankers.
