Tesla's cameras are just not good enough. A camera with a clean lens and better dynamic range would have made the truck much more visible. But also the software approach needs to change. The current approach cannot use cues like headlights or lane lines being occluded or the reflection of lights in the side of the black truck to infer the presence of an object. To enable approaches that can do this, the compute hardware needs to be much faster.
I believe cameras and software can drive cars safely. But these cameras and this software can't.
