The video quality is so bad, so it makes the situation look a lot worse than it actually was. The lack of contrast in the video makes the road appear dark, but you can see many streetlight, so it was very well lit. The pedestrian didn't just dart out of nowhere, she was crossing slowly, and at only 38mph there was plenty of time for the driver to see her and react.
Basically Uber put a million dollar half assed self driving abortion on the road, equipped it subpar sensors and a 30 dollar ebay dashcam, and trusted the control of that turd to a hillbilly convicted felon.
Can't wait for heads to roll in court.
