The human driver didn't have their eyes on the road the majority of the the time. And yes, the video footage is _nearly_ useless.

Maybe the outcome will be that thermal infrared will be mandated on all sensor packs?

This 100%. When I drive, I watch the road. I don't watch my mobile phone, I don't watch the kids behind, I don't watch my wife. I don't watch the sky. I don't watch the GPS.

I just watch the road in front of me.

My idea is that the car has been behaving well for a long time and consequently the driver lowered is vigilance. Big mistake.

Unlike many others, sadly - even when they don't have any self-driving tech at all

Any chance the backup driver was looking at a driving-related computer screen? (Speedometer/Video of road/LIDAR/IR camera)

That screen is mounted high in Uber's cars. The driver was looking low.
