Isn't this just another way of saying "we put cameras in human environments pointing at semantically relevant things"? Self driving cars aren't looking at rooftops or the inside of drains or straight down from high up. They're positioned where people are often looking from at things in human environments. Dogs, to use that example, are implicitly the subjects. We care deeply that self driving cars can see and recognize dogs (or one would hope).
If self driving cars had cameras mounted randomly at various angles and the cars drove without direction off-road wherever they pleased and took off like a drone to observe from the sky, you can be assured dogs would not be easily recognizable without supervision.
