Full speed in the dark, I think most people would failed to avoid that. What's concerning is it does not stop afterwards
Note that part of the discussion is we shouldn't settle for human limitations when we don't have to. Notably things like LIDAR are considered to give these systems superhuman vision. However, Tesla said 'eyes are good enough for folks, so just cameras'.
The rest of the industry said LIDAR is important and focus on trying to make it more practical.
Hell, even not having lidar The thing was pretty clearly a large road obstacle a second and a half out. They had a whole left lane open At least enough time to do a significant speed reduction.
