    It’s by momentum. The greater the momentum the greater the responsibility.

    Edit: To actually respond to your examples:

    1. No. It is the responsibility of the high mv cars not to enter the sidewalk, or to be incredibly cautious if they must.

    2. Yes. It is the responsibility of the high mv car to look far enough ahead to respond to low mv (or rather high delay v) obstacles ahead. If this sounds impractical, the design of highways and the illegality of a pedestrian entering one makes unavoidable incidents of car-hitting-pedestrian-on-highway low enough to be practical.
