This is often a criticism of Uber

The drivers don't always follow safe protocol for picking up / dropping off riders. The video shows the driver stopped in the middle lane going eastbound...so she walked across two lanes of traffic and was struck by the car going westbound. A taxi would never have stopped in that position. Just terrible.

Are we sure it actually was an uber or lyft?

Or did she mistakenly think it was? Could the driver have just been stopped at the traffic light in the middle lane having no idea who she was?
