This has nothing to do with attention. If the cameras' view is obscured by something, no amount of computing power will change that, unless some physical action can be taken. Most of the time a human can just shift head a bit to see past whatever is blocking the view. You do it all the time without even realizing. For example to see your phone's screen clearly when a reflection obstructs your view. Or to see behind whatever happens to be blocking your line of sight. The possible solutions for this are obvious: add more forward-facing cameras and augment with something that's not affected (for example radar, lidar, infrared, etc.). Adding some physical feature that gives the camera some degrees of freedom to move could work as well, although it does add expense and lowers reliability.
