Disagree. These articles plainly, on the face of it, blame the car. You can infer whatever you like, but that’s just splitting hairs to avoid acknowledging that they explicitly state that the car did it.
But neither do those articles actively discuss the crash as the driver’s fault
That’s because in every one of the given examples it’s painfully obvious the driver is at fault. Those aren’t scenarios where there’s any ambiguity. It’s not a scenario where a car hit someone on a highway, where fault could easily be either direction.
Driving into a building is clearly caused by the driver of the vehicle. That’s the situation in all of those examples.

You sure about that? Many of the close calls I’ve had as both a pedestrian and a cyclist, the car driver seems pretty sure it was my fault.
For example, crossing the street with all reds, cars stopped all directions, walk light on, in the crosswalk. I didn’t actually hear what the driver who almost hit me yelled but probably something like “get out of the road during bmw priority time”
