How about they show the rest of the video (BEFORE) the crash? The immediate police response, if you recall, said they saw the woman in advance enter the road from the median walkway (look in the Google/Bing map pictures and you'll see the media has a stone walkway for people to cross at this point, making this a sanctioned crossing area), she then, according to the police, walked left-to-right across the road and out of view. The road is curve to the right. She is legally and as tradition teaches, walking her bike across the street. Next we see the car continue around the curve and pick her up in headlights and run her down. We see in the media pictures the area is rather well lit. The shadows is simply her not being illuminated by the car headlights and the aperture adjusting to make the dark darker. The cameras do it, our eyes do it. In any case, the car has multiple non-light sensors, which failed entirely. The car, according to police reports, did not slow down or brake, it simply ran her down. It did not sense her. Uber previously admitted problem with seeing bicycles and bike lanes. Oops, they were right. She was lying dead with her bike in a bike lane after walking the bike across the street, which they recorded her doing. The driver, a felon that lied to get her job, was busy looking down (at what?). This is ENTIRELY UBER'S FAULT.

A human-driven car, noting the woman crossing in advance (like was reported), would be watching to see where she had gone as we approached, likely slowed down. We would NOT have hit the woman.

...

It’s not a sanctioned crossing area. There’s even a sign telling pedestrians not to use it.
