'the incident occurred roughly 100 years from a crosswalk' - deep space?


Yeah saw that, rather than missing the word light, it’s probably yards. Based on what’s reported (not suggesting it’s true or the full story) she basically jumped out in front in which case this indeed would have been hard to avoid.


Given that the car apparently didn’t even start to brake, maybe she was moving at light speed?

The LIDAR probably couldn’t see with all the shadows, or maybe she teleported, literally “coming from nowhere.” I sure hope if I’m killed the filth blame it on me in less than 24 hours.


She definitely "jumped out in front" given no actual evidence that "she jumped out in front." I might even venture that "she lunged" given absolutely nothing to offer in supporting evidence.

Carry on Uber!


FYI you can tweet at reporters letting them know there's a typo, and they typically make the edit quickly. They usually seem appreciative.
