I also watched it several times and the thing that stood out was that she was crossing from the left side of the road to the right. The car was traveling in the right lane, hit her in the right lane and did not seem to slow down or swerve. She was most of the way across the street. It's not the same to me as if she was crossing from right to left and just stepped out in front of the car right before impact.
The whole thing is unfortunate. She shouldn't have crossed like that, so that is clearly the starting point. I'm not certain an attentive human driver would have missed her but I'm also less than certain they wouldn't either. Also doesn't help that the emergency driver behind wheel wasn't watching the road, which sort of defeats the purpose of having anyone there.

She shouldn’t have crossed period.
There is no expectation that she had the right a way.
She also did not speed up to get out if way.
This is a defense attorneys dream case with the video.
Slam dunk.
