The woman would have been seen by a human driver. That’s when I slow my speed and move into the other lane until I can figure out what the pedestrian is doing

On the other hand maybe we could launch these in SF when the bicyclists are out

I would not make that assumption at all until I was able to drive the same route at the same time of night and determine for myself what the conditions were.

Unfortunately for Uber and its "safety operator," their ability to defend themselves in this case is impaired by the fact that the operator wasn't paying attention to the road.

Yes, that would clear-up that problem of annoying bike riders. :)
