It seems like the car is out driving its headlights. Assuming a road line is about 10 feet (as is typical), only about 20~30 feet of distance is illuminated... but at 30mph you need ~45ft for an average car to break, and at 40mph you need ~80ft. (According to [1] -- ignoring reaction time.) Is there something wrong with the headlights? Is the video just that bad? (And if so, is it even used for decision making by the car?)
