I wonder if the driver grabbing the wheel disabled the response from the car.

I think the car should have reacted way earlier with a hard brake or starting a lane change. If the lidar detection had worked.

The first reports indicated that the driver claimed they didn't notice the pedestrian until they heard the collision.

Fun thought experiment:

1. Release video to police (with obvious shots of driver/passenger/whatever not paying attention to the road)

2. Investigation reveals accident was caused by driver/passenger/whatever reaction

3. ????

4. Profit (PR win/rescue)

Even Uber couldn't be oblivious enough to consider this a PR win.
