That is hopeless, but man that's a dumb place to put a pole.

I disagree. That pole should have been reinforced and put on the leading edge to act as protection for the pedestrians.

Check out the photos later down. That post he his is a crosswalk for school children.

SAE J3016 Level 2 automation requires more attention than driving a vehicle without any automation, because the driver needs to pay the same amount of attention to the road as any other driver, as well as monitor the automation to be able to intervene without notice.

Normal freeway driving involves missing barriers by only a few feet, so it may not even be physically possible for a human to intervene, once its clear that the cars path will intersect the barrier. For example, in the fatal 2018 crash of a Tesla Model X in Mountain View (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22305488) the car crashed into a divider between the offramp and the freeway lane from which the offramp departed.

Blocking an entire lane of traffic for school children to cross twice a day?

Why even build a road that wide in the first place?
