That is one of the reasons LIDAR is critical for self-driving.

I found this part of the article shocking:

Quote:
"driving Tesla was a 53-year-old man named Huang, who claimed to have turned on the vehicle assist system at the time. It was thought that the vehicle would detect an obstacle and slow down or stop, but the car still moved at a fixed speed"
The guy claims he saw the truck but just waited for the car to stop on it's own instead of manually applying the brakes.
