State of the art emergency assist systems in normal driver-operated cars would have seen this woman/bike and started to brake the vehicle. Even without any assist systems, it should be possible for a human driver to see this bike/woman. It was dark, but otherwise conditions were excellent.
I would suppose that sensory capabilities of a driverless vehicles are above those of normal cars. There is clearly something very wrong with uber's technology.

Which is something that that production-grade technology can ensure with head and eye-tracking. Some non-autonomous cars have this feature to stop people from dozing off, and good semi-autonomous systems, like GM's SuperCruise will refuse to go into or stay in self-driving mode unless the driver is paying attention.
