This situation happened, yes. Do you think this is the only time that an autonomous car will ever find itself straddling a pedestrian and need to decide which way to move its tires to avoid running over their head? You can't just grab one very specific case and tell the car to treat every situation as if it was identical to that, when most cases are probably going to be quite different.
