Some blame, too, belongs to the human driver. His job was to look for exceptional conditions that the car may not pick up. And he failed.
It's quite possible there wasn't time for a good human driver to stop completely or avoid a pedestrian where one shouldn't be, and this accident was all but unavoidable, but we'll never know because no attempt was made. Given the speed of the car, the woman crossing the street either miscalculated, was betting that traffic would see her and slow down, or didn't see the oncoming car.
It was also odd that they disabled the car's stock emergency collision avoidance system.
