Tempe Police released video on Wednesday of the deadly crash involving Uber’s self-driving car.

The video shows footage from both inside and outside the vehicle, which hit a woman walking across the middle of a dark street, outside the crosswalk, in Tempe, Ariz. on Sunday evening. The woman, 49-year-old Elaine Herzberg, died at the hospital from her injuries.

It’s still difficult to tell who, or what, was at fault. The video shows the Uber operator, who is responsible for taking over in case of a potential self-driving error, looking down at something just before the vehicle struck the woman.

Warning: Viewer discretion is advised. 

Uber pulled its fleet of autonomous cars off the streets of four test cities after the incident, which has sparked intense debate over the future and safety of self-driving cars. The New York Times reported that the incident appears to be the first known death of a person hit by an autonomous vehicle on a public roadway.

“This is the nightmare all of us working in this domain always worried about,” Raj Rajkumar, head of Carnegie Mellon University’s self-driving laboratory, told Axios.
