Exactly. I was just going off of Musk's statements that they don't want to use things like LIDAR since people don't have LIDAR but can make these types of assessments. Even if you could make an arc of occlusion (sounds like a D&D spell), there's way too much variability in headlight sizes/designs to accurately determine distance in the dark in the situation this video presents. Again, I am admitting a ton of ignorance when making that statement but that seems nearly impossible to me with just cameras.
