From the NTSB report: "The vehicle operator’s prolonged visual distraction, a typical effect of automation complacency, led to her failure to detect the pedestrian in time to avoid the collision." In other words, while this person should not have been doing what she was doing, we can expect it to happen again if we let self-driving vehicles on the road again. But, Uber (who can afford a much better lawyer than the driver) was found not to have committed a crime. I think they were at least as negligent as the driver, in this case.
