So if I see a pedestrian in the middle of the road, am I supposed to slow down or floor it?
Well, preferably, you slow down before you approach the area with the pedestrian instead of after your truck's nose has intersected their path.

This whole discussion of who had "the right-of-way" is silly.

I was always taught that, as a pedestrian, cars had the right-of-way (regardless of what the law says) and, as a motorist, pedestrians had the right-of-way (regardless of what the law says).

Given the timing and footage useable in court, the drivers move was premeditated and a felony had the pedestrian been hit. Compare that to the pedestrians violation of illegal crossing. Either way, driver loses and pedestrian gets million$ in damages. Was it worth it?

At that point you’re, in a superposition and we can’t know what you’re going to do unless you’re observed.
The correct answer is not that we can’t know what you’re going to do unless you’re observed because the act of observation itself will change the outcome and will impart a change in his direction and location.
