Question volvo pedestrian avoidance accident not our fault

http://smh.drive.com.au/sydney-motor...015-16n35.html

Last month Volvo was left red-faced after an embarrassing incident that saw one of its new V60 wagons hit a pedestrian dummy in a safety demonstration gone wrong.

Today at the Sydney motor show Volvo Australia’s managing director Alan Desselss claimed that the problem wasn’t a failure of the car’s new pedestrian avoidance system

“Now, the reason why it failed is because of the way that the demonstration was set up, and not because of the system itself,” Desselss claims. “That’s the most important fact that everybody understands."
Lemme guess.... the dummy jumped in front of the volvo???
