>before anyone has even downloaded the recordings

The second paragraph of the article states "video footage taken from cameras equipped to the autonomous Volvo SUV potentially shift the blame to the victim herself."

It's video footage from cameras at night! Of course on the footage the victim comes from the shadows because cameras become notoriously useless at night when you still want to hit reasonable framerates (and you do).

That's why that thing has a very expensive LIDAR on top.

Modern dashcams have very good low light capability. Here's a cruise self driving video at night.

The point of that persons comment was that you asserted nobody has looked at videos. Clearly they have.
