The pedestrian was about 3/4 of the way across the road when she was struck, and was walking a bicycle that was partially laden with goods. That suggests that quick evasion on the pedestrian's part would have been somewhat difficult, but given that the road was empty of other vehicles, there was a long clear sight distance to the pedestrian, and there was ample space to maneuver, any reasonable driver would have been able to stop or switch lanes to evade the pedestrian.

The driver was not paying attention to the road and was incapable of performing a timely emergency maneuver (be it a stop or lane change).

Yeah but when you cross the street you generally keep an eye out for traffic, and the sight-line is such that if the car had headlights on it should have been visible for more than 6 seconds before the collision. The victim might well have expected the car to yield somewhat.

However, I don't know if the car did have any external lights on, so it might have been hard to see until it was closer than 6 seconds away.

As far as I recall the driver was looking at the car's status screen which they'd been instructed by Uber to monitor rather than at the road at the time of the crash, so didn't notice the pedestrian until too late. I can't say much about what the pedestrian saw, the Uber car killed them so we can't ask.

The driver was the Uber engineering department, the human supervisor in the driver seat was distracted by their phone.

Why the victim didn't pay attention isn't known as far as I can tell, but from the released video they do appear inattentive.
