You have the advantage of knowing before hand something terrible is about to go down. The driver was probably driving for several hours at night and has his/her spidey-senses a bit fatigued.

Yes, human eyes have better night vision, but people have different visual acuity, attention span, and reflexes. Also, headlights from other cars can blind you momentarily. Still, I don't understand why Tesla is so opposed to LIDAR. The more information the autopilot has, the better decisions it can make.
