This is a dark truck with no lights in a high-speed road at night, I would probably have crashed too. 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.
