What is the point of the mandatory human safeguard if they're not paying attention, and not responsible for failing to do their job?

You have to prove that a human would have been reasonably able to prevent the accident, which is not an easy thing to do in this case. The evidence in fact shows the contrary. This makes your theory that the human contributed to the death extremely hard to prove, if not impossible. This scenario plays out regularly in my city unfortunately, with pedestrians doing the exact same thing with the exact same results.
