The video was from a cheap dashcam, not any of the sensors the car uses. The LIDAR would have seen it clearly. So would your eyes, which have wider dynamic range than any but the best cameras.


I recall noticing that the human driver of the car was not looking forwards immediately prior to the accident, which presumably makes him/her ultimately responsible for the accident?


If the breaks don't work because of an engineering defect who is responsible? In this case it's the LIDAR that failed.


The article said the LIDAR was fine. It was the decision making software that failed.


The decision making for the LIDAR?


If I were to speculate: Decision making which takes LIDAR as one of the inputs.
