  This shows how worrying is autonomous cars in a low-light environment. I suppose LIDAR should be able to pick that up, but sadly it failed miserably.

  Even if there were no street lights, the car's headlights should give enough light to see the pedestrian on an empty road.

    Low beams at high speed do not give enough advance warning to reliably prevent a collision; as your lights are turned downward, you see a pedestrian only when they're quite close. In general, traffic safety requires that road planners ensure that one of three conditions always applies: a) the roads are lighted from above; b) cars are able to use high beams; c) there are no pedestrians crossing the highway. This can be done in general, mostly by investments in infrastructure to ensure lighting or isolated highways wherever the density doesn't allow to drive with high beams.
