It seems like you're working pretty hard to justify this woman's death.
She was apparently walking her bicycle through an intersection. Did she grab her bike and jump directly in front of the car? Maybe, but let's not jump to assumptions.

It ran at least six red lights in San Francisco and would apparently swerve into the bike lane when making turns, now it's killed a pedestrian. It just doesn't seem that good. How many similar incidents have you heard about with Waymo? They've driven more than twice as many miles in city streets.
"Rather than merging into bike lanes early to make right-hand turns, as per California state law, the Uber vehicle reportedly pulled across the bike lanes at the last second, risking collisions with oncoming cyclists"
At least in some jurisdictions. I remember seeing articles about Uber getting in trouble for doing this in jurisdictions where it is not the correct behavior and for not doing it in jurisdictions where it is the correct behavior.
