You mean the video of a dashcam Uber released to deliberately make it appear as if it was pitch-black and this women came into frame like a second before impact?
No, indeed it turns out this is a very well lit, wide open area and your eyes would have had no problem seeing and predicting her path from many many feet away. As of course could the $$$ industrial cams Uber actually uses to inform its vision.
- bzb5 6y agoAre you suggesting Uber maliciously edited the dashcam video to hide the jaywalker? Or that a better, human-readable (ie not raw sensor data) version of the video exists and Uber has not released it?
- colejohnson66 6y agoI think OP is referencing how cameras (especially the cheap ones used in dash cams) don’t do a good job in lowlight conditions.
- molf 6y agoYes, it appears that Uber may have edited the video. Even if they didn't edit it and just used a very shitty dashcam, it's still incredibly misleading. There are no alternate versions of the dashcam available. However, there are comparisons of the same location made by other drivers that make it pretty clear this is a fairly well-lit stretch of road. [1] It looks nothing like the released Uber footage.
