They all have this problem in one way or another. The Bolt I owned never saw a pedestrian except once in a Blue Moon but that was about two years ago or so. I drive a Tesla and see some of the problems they are talking about with regard to pedestrians. Tesla is not 100% at all.
Personally, I don't see FSD coming to any EV especially for all environments. There are too many niche and standard cases that have to have to be considered in fractions of a second. From the inattentive pedestrian, kid coming out from behind a parked car, aggressive walker, etc. No software can read a person's mind and intentions. We, as humans, have a hard time guessing what a person might do. "Driving is too important to leave it up to self driving systems by themselves." and I think that's the bottom line. You have to make the driver aware of situations but not take over and be a "be all" for everything. I hope Tesla is finally learning that lesson. I'm not sure fi Mr. Musk will ever capitulate. I hope he does.
