Authorities in Arizona have released dramatic dash cam footage showing the moments leading up to a self-driving Uber car's fatal collision with a pedestrian.
The video released by Tempe police on Wednesday shows the car driving 38ph in a 45-mph zone along a relatively empty roadway last Sunday night.
A woman walking while rolling her bicycle suddenly appears in the headlights, with the footage cutting out a split second before impact.
The car does not appear to slow down before the crash, and police told the Phoenix New Times that neither the car nor the driver braked 'significantly' before impact.
The victim was later identified as Elaine Herzberg, 49.
In another frame, the driver, Rafaela Vasquez, is seen behind the wheel as the car rides on its own.
