 TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — Video of a deadly self-driving vehicle crash in suburban Phoenix shows a pedestrian walking from a darkened area onto a street just moments before an Uber SUV strikes her. 
  
 The lights on the SUV didn't illuminate 49-year-old Elaine Herzberg on Sunday night until a second or two before impact, raising questions about whether the vehicle could have stopped in time. 
  
 The crash Sunday night in Tempe was the first death involving a full autonomous test vehicle. The Volvo was in self-driving mode with a human backup driver at the wheel when it struck Herzberg, police said. 
  
 The video shows the human backup driver in the SUV looking down until seconds before the crash. The driver looks up and appears startled during the last moment of the clip. 
  
 Tempe Police Chief Sylvia Moir has told the San Francisco Chronicle that the SUV likely wouldn't be found at fault. But two experts who viewed the video told The Associated Press that the SUV's laser and radar sensors should have spotted Herzberg and her bicycle in time to brake. 
  
 "The victim did not come out of nowhere. She's moving on a dark road, but it's an open road, so Lidar (laser) and radar should have detected and classified her" as a human, said Bryant Walker Smith, a University of South Carolina law professor who studies autonomous vehicles. 
  
 Smith said the video may not show the complete picture, but "this is strongly suggestive of multiple failures of Uber and its system, its automated system, and its safety driver." 
  
 Sam Abuelsmaid, an analyst for Navigant Research who also follows autonomous vehicles, said laser and radar systems can see in the dark much better than humans or cameras and that Herzberg was well within the range. 
  
 "It absolutely should have been able to pick her up," he said. "From what I see in the video it sure looks like the car is at fault, not the pedestrian." 
  
 Smith said that from what he observed on the video, the Uber driver appears to be relying too much on the self-driving system by not looking up at the road. 
  
 "The safety driver is clearly relying on the fact that the car is driving itself. It's the old adage that if everyone is responsible no one is responsible," Smith said. "This is everything gone wrong that these systems, if responsibly implemented, are supposed to prevent." 
  
 The experts were unsure if the test vehicle was equipped with a video monitor that the backup driver may have been viewing. 
  
 Uber immediately suspended all road-testing of such autos in the Phoenix area, Pittsburgh, San Francisco and Toronto. The National Transportation Safety Board, which makes recommendations for preventing crashes, is investigating the crash. 
  
 An Uber spokeswoman, reached Wednesday night by email, did not answer specific questions about the video or the expert observations. 
  
 "The video is disturbing and heartbreaking to watch, and our thoughts continue to be with Elaine's loved ones. Our cars remain grounded, and we're assisting local, state and federal authorities in any way we can," the company said in a statement. 
  
 Tempe police have identified the driver as 44-year-old Rafael Vasquez. Court records show someone with the same name and birthdate as Vasquez spent more than four years in prison for two felony convictions — for making false statements when obtaining unemployment benefits and attempted armed robbery — before starting work as an Uber driver. 
  
 Tempe police and the National Transportation Safety Board declined to say whether the Vasquez who was involved in the fatal crash is the same Vasquez who has two criminal convictions. 
  
 Attempts by the AP to contact Vasquez through phone numbers and social media on Wednesday afternoon weren't successful. 
  
 Local media have identified the driver as Rafaela Vasquez. Authorities would not explain the discrepancy. 
  
 The fatality has raised questions about whether Uber is doing enough to screen its drivers. 
  
 Uber said Vasquez met the company's vetting requirements. 
  
 The company bans drivers who are convicted of violent crimes or any felony within the past seven years — which Vasquez would have passed given that records show the offenses occurred in 1999 and 2000. 
  
 The company's website lists its pre-screening policies for drivers that spell out what drivers can and cannot have on their record to work for Uber. 
  
 Their driving history can't have any DUI or drug-related driving offenses within the past seven years, for instance. They also can't have more than three non-fatal accidents or moving violations within the past three years.

 The Tempe Police Department on Wednesday released a video that shows the moments before a self-driving Uber vehicle fatally hit a 49-year-old woman. 
  
 The crash, which happened about 10 p.m. Sunday night near Mill Avenue and Curry Road, is believed to be the nation's first pedestrian death involving an autonomous vehicle. 
  
 Police said Uber's Volvo was in autonomous mode when the crash happened. 
  
 The vehicle had a backup operator behind the wheel, which is common for Uber in case the vehicle has to be taken out of self-driving mode. Officials identified the operator as 44-year-old Rafaela Vasquez. 
  
 Elaine Herzberg of Mesa was walking a bike across Mill Avenue outside of a crosswalk near the Marquee Theatre when she was hit, police said. She died of her injuries. 
  
 The edited video released by Tempe police cuts off the moment just before the vehicle crashes into Herzberg. 
  
 Footage captured from a camera inside the vehicle shows Vasquez looking down moments before the crash. It also shows that as soon as she picks up her head to look at the road she looks surprised before the video cuts off.

 Tempe police chief: Fatal Uber crash likely 'unavoidable' for any kind of driver 
  
 Self-driving Uber vehicle strikes, kills 49-year-old woman in Tempe 
  
 The operators that Uber use frequently have a laptop in the car used to direct the vehicle's route and also to record information about the car's performance. It is unclear from the video released by police what Vasquez was directing her attention to in the vehicle. 
  
 Tempe Police Chief Sylvia Moir told The Arizona Republic on Tuesday the crash was "unavoidable" based on an initial police investigation and a review of the video. 
  
 The Volvo was traveling about 40 mph and made no visible attempt to brake in the video, police have said. The speed limit in the area is 35 mph. 
  
 CLOSE Tempe police speak at a press conference to address the accident where a self-driving Uber killed a pedestrian. 
  
 A large median at the site of the crash has signs warning people not to cross mid-block and to use the crosswalk to the north at Curry Road instead. But the median also has a brick pathway cutting through the desert landscaping that accommodates people who do cross at that site. 
  
 "It's very clear it would have been difficult to avoid this collision in any kind of mode (autonomous or human-driven) based on how she came from the shadows right into the roadway," Moir also told the San Francisco Chronicle after viewing the footage. 
  
 Tempe police said in an email Wednesday that its vehicular crimes unit is investigating the episode and will turn over its findings to the Maricopa County Attorney's Office. 
  
 Amanda Jacinto, a spokeswoman for the Maricopa County Attorney's Office, said that when Tempe police finish the investigation, a prosecutor will review the case to determine if charges should be filed. 
  
 But, she added, that, "Not all vehicular incidents, even those that result in the tragic loss of life, ultimately present a case for a criminal prosecution." 
  
 Court records show that Herzberg had been convicted on drug possession charges. In an April 2015 letter written by her husband to a judge, he said that Herzberg had been using drugs to “self medicate to deal with her depression” during the past 13 years. 
  
 She would stay at a homeless camp near where the crash occurred. 
  
 People in the area said she had some family problems but they declined to give details. They also said she had at least one daughter. One person said someone had picked up Herzberg’s personal belongings a day after the crash. 
  
 According to the state Department of Corrections, Vasquez served nearly four years in prison for attempted armed robbery and giving a false statement in order to get unemployment benefits. 
  
 Court records show that Vasquez said she recognized she had surrounded herself with people who encouraged to do “ill-advised” actions, leading her to get in trouble. She said she needed to change who she allowed into her life and make better decisions, court records show. 
  
 It appears she followed through. Vasquez had a clean record since. 
  
 Uber proudly touts its corporate policy to offer convicts a second chance. 
  
 "One mistake shouldn’t have to lead to a lifetime of punishment," the company website says. "At Uber, we are committed to working within our communities to help provide opportunities to those who need them most." 
  
 Uber has temporarily stopped testing the dozens of vehicles it has been running in Arizona following the accident. It followed a similar procedure a year ago following a less severe accident. 
  
 "The video is disturbing and heartbreaking to watch, and our thoughts continue to be with Elaine’s loved ones," an Uber spokeswoman said Wednesday. "Our cars remain grounded, and we're assisting local, state and federal authorities in any way we can.” 
  
 Uber's self-driving vehicles are equipped not only with cameras but with radar and lidar, which works like radar but using lasers to detect objects on and off the roadway. 
  
 Uber and other companies working to develop self-driving cars tout the safety of their systems not only because the vehicles won't lose focus on the road, like human drivers, but because they have superior sensing capabilities. 
  
 Last fall, Uber officials showing off their vehicles on Mill Avenue said their radar and lidar were able to detect objects, including jaywalkers, as far as 100 yards away and avoid collisions.

Output:
The pedestrian, the human backup operator, and the vehicle were all taken by surprise in what is believed to be the first pedestrian death in an accident involving a self-driving car, video released by police in Arizona shows. The video shared by police in Tempe on Tuesday shows 49-year-old Elaine Herzberg walking her bike from a darkened area across a street outside a crosswalk, and cuts off right before impact, the Arizona Republic reports. The video also includes footage from inside the self-driving Volvo, where the backup operator can be seen looking down until the final moments before looking up, apparently shocked. The vehicle was going 40mph, and there's no sign that it slowed down. The video "is disturbing and heartbreaking to watch, and our thoughts continue to be with Elaine's loved ones," says Uber spokesman Andrew Hasbun. "Our cars remain grounded, and we're assisting local, state, and federal authorities in any way we can." Uber suspended road testing of its self-driving car program in several cities after the accident, though Tempe Police Chief Sylvia Moir tells the San Francisco Chronicle that looking at how Herzberg "came from the shadows right into the roadway," it appears that the collision would have been hard to avoid in any mode, human-driven or autonomous. Local media identified the driver as 44-year-old Rafaela Vasquez, though police say the driver was named Rafael. Court records show a man with the same name and birthdate spent four years in prison on felony convictions before joining Uber, the AP reports.
