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 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. 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.
