I think releasing much higher quality and higher dynamic range and multi-spectrum video is going to be a LOT more damming of driverless car tech. Just look at all the commentators here saying they would have not been able to stop in time based on this terrible camera footage (ignoring the vastly better capabilities of their own human eyes).
I'm holding out hope that a good chunk of the public will understand this footage is not at all indicative of the vision capabilities of even the human eye, lest the actual sensor tech on that Uber car. Certainly a good number of people on Twitter do.
If Waymo understood how to stick a knife in they would have replicated this scenario yesterday and released a video. Hell, you could take a Mercedes S class with night view assistant and it would spot this, no problem.
