Video of the Uber accident which killed Elaine Herzberg was misleading

In this nighttime video, posted to YouTube by Brian Kaufman on Wednesday, the scene of the crash can be seen around 0:33. Features at the sides of the road—including curbs, signs, and bushes—are clearly visible. No pedestrians walk into the road during the video, but it seems clear that Herzberg would have been visible much earlier if the Uber video had been taken with this camera.

it seem the pedestrian suddenly appeared out of the darkness?

Even if that were so the lidar (laser) and radar sensors on the car should have picked her up with plenty of time for the car to stop before hitting her.

Seems like some shady, cya crap is going on.

Alas, with Uber's record of deceit, it is impossible to rule that out.

There does need to be an investigation on that point, and of the Tempe police chief's rapid dismissal of fault.
