Are they trying to protect Uber?
On one hand you have a single dead jaywalker without reflectors...
And on the other hand a large corporation bringing an extensive testing program to the area. To engage such a testing program there will be a lot of getting close to politicians, bureaucrats, police, etc.. All have an interest. Uber putting a lot of cars on the road. All with a supervisior. All paid jobs for people in the area....
Food for thought.

Took some liberties in editing the quote above. No disrespect intended. Just wanted to bring it in closer before agreeing.
As to the topic of the OPs quote... The situation doesn't inspire visions of impartiality. I could only dream of getting the same consideration from the police if I were to accidentally hit someone. The average person definitely doesn't get treated this way in the Metro-NY area. Ethics-be-damned... Around here there is an expectation of an arrest when a fatality is involved.
