This is the wreck photo from the local news, showing a damaged bike on the sidewalk, and an Uber robo-car with front passenger-side damage, sitting in the right lane

This looks like the corresponding street view: https://www.google.com/maps/place/N+Mill+Ave+%26+E+Curry+Rd,...

It's hard to square that with someone darting over from a brushy median on the driver's side of the car.

One possibility is that the pedestrian was trying to cross to the weird sidewalk/median thing and came out from behind the tree here: https://www.google.com/maps/place/N+Mill+Ave+%26+E+Curry+Rd,...

"Safety driver" of the robo-car may have a record for attempted armed robbery. Uber disputes the driver's identity.

Good grief. I would normally be surprised if a company denied a claim like that without having solid evidence, but Uber would be much less surprising.
