The Volvo XC90 is an exceedingly safe car already. With the LED lighting, it shouldn't be possible for the headlamps to illuminate that poorly - it's as if the auto-levelling circuitry thinks the car is riding nose-up.
The XC90 also comes with a factory auto-brake that is supposed to prevent the vehicle from having this type of accident - their stated goal is zero fatalities. Did Uber not buy models with this included, or did they de-activate this feature? You'd think an independent system like that would actually be seen as a positive feature...
Or did they darken the video?
Does anyone trust Uber to provide all the evidence they have, and not just selectively release bits that support them?
Does anyone trust Uber not to alter the video, say by increasing the contrast to make darker objects invisible?
Modern cars, including the XC90 have a tilt sensor to adjust the headlights automatically for this.
From what I remember reading it there are many static objects so they are having a hard time deciding what is safe to ignore,AFAIK Tesla is extra problematic since they want to use only cameras and not other sensors
