Incident raises questions about AI's ability to handle unpredictable human behavior in traffic.

Baidu's autonomous vehicle had minor contact with a pedestrian crossing against the light in Wuhan.
The pedestrian was taken to the hospital but had no obvious external injuries.
Social media users largely supported Baidu, citing the pedestrian's traffic violation.
Experts note the challenge AI faces with unconventional behavior from other road users.
