I drive that stretch of road almost every single day, at night.

Yeah, the video looked different than what my eyes see because my eyes have better low light sensitivity than most cameras.

However (if this makes sense): the video released was an accurate representation of what you see driving on that road. A few weeks ago, I had somebody almost walk into my car out of the shadows (this person was paying attention though, and stopped in the empty lane next to me). It turns out it's REALLY difficult to see people in the streetlight shadows.
