And it's much darker than the camera shows. A camera will always brighten things up, and your screen itself emits light, so it's not an accurate representation of darkness at night. On top of that, it was on a slight bend, clearly no visibility of them a bit down the road. The video is also from a vantage point, while the driver is on a flat road. Anyone who drives at night knows visibility is limited. Also on a dimly lit street, and no one is going to expect people there.

Even the math is on the drivers side. It takes at least 4.6 seconds to go from 60mph to zero. That's from when you apply immediate pressure to the brakes, that doesn't even count for the time it takes to recognize that you need to brake.

From the start of the video to the moment of impact, only 3 seconds passed. That means even if the car had tried to stop from the start of the video, they would have still not stopped in time. And if they're going 80mph like the video said, then the time to stop would be even longer.

80mph = 35 meters per second. With 3 seconds passed from the start of the video to the point of impact, the car drove literally a football field of distance. Now coalesce all of those factors together. Can you see someone a football field away at night while driving? Probably not. Much less, around a bend on a freeway you don't expect people to be on. So all factors are on the drivers side.

This is why you don't play on the highway.

Of course there are idiots who will watch this video and think because they can see the people and the car from a vantage point recording on an illuminated screen, that the car should have been able to magically see them and stop too.
