To be fair, cell phone cameras as I recall have a tendency to push the ISO up, so it potentially could look different IRL (I'm purposefully being vague).

Ideally /u/ghdana would have posted the camera settings which filmed this, so you could get a better understanding of the situation.

Not that I'm defending UBER on this, as others have said LIDAR and IR in addition to the cameras should have picked the woman up.

That is true, but raising the ISO for proper (well 18% grey anyway.) exposure is something pretty much every retail camera made in the past decade does. I doubt UBER is using some experimental esoteric camera here.
