10,000 human drivers a day handle it just fine. Again the night-time video is poor and a human can pick up so many other subtle clues. I'd bet all the non auto-pilot accidents at this spot are from drivers cutting across at the last second.
But it appears the combination of lines and narrow barrier and the curve don't get properly detected by the car's algorithm. It's an edge case, but with the state of roads in the US and the lack of maintenance, I don't see how an algorithm can handle every possible case. I know lane markings are worn and faded all over my town.
