Have you seen the video of the accident? Shot right from the Uber car. This poor woman didn't have a single chance. And in this particular case it is obviously doesn't matter who was the driver.
Could you please share a link to that video so we can see it? Thanks.
Sure, here you go:

Darkness is not an excuse for self-driving vehicle which is equipped with infrared sensors. This is a terrible tragedy.
Indeed. You can't expect everyone to cross streets with reflective elements. Be honest, do you always have reflective elements on your clothes when you go for a walk during the evening? I don't at all.
At least you have to understand the importance of wearing of brightly coloured clothing and reflective materials on clothing to make pedestrians very visible during the hours of darkness. That's basic principles of road safety.
We could discuss about the importance but seriously, who does it? And if we have self-driving cars one day it's the technology that should make up for human failure. If I don't ware the right jacket, the car should still be able to locate me and slow down. Military has crazy technology that can easily do such stuff.
