Are you saying you were driving on autopilot in a Tesla and it didn't spot it or you were driving a normal car and couldn't spot it?
If the later, you're assertion that because it was hard for you to see a computer wouldn't be able to is pretty strange. There's plenty of sensors that can spot a stationary object in the way even though it's camouflaged to humans, IR being the most obvious.

- joshribakoff 6y agoRadar isn’t great at detecting stopped objects especially when the sensor is moving at highway speeds, which is why most AV companies are using LIDAR
- grandmczeb 6y agoThe situation described by the GP doesn’t sound like highway speeds. Regardless, most AV companies use a combination of LIDAR, radar, and vision (which you probably already know - just clarifying.)
