Autopilot crashes into median in daylight

People are comparing this with humans. In this case, this type of narrowing of the bridge has existed for a long time I presume - it's not new. Thousands of humans have gone through it without an issue. I can see why without a LIDAR, Tesla would need to do a lot more with subtle vision cues that humans usually pick up due to high dynamic range of our eyes.

Data is available. Figure out when this narrowing of the bridge was constructed, average number of cars passing through the left lane in a day and you can estimate how well humans behave in this situation during mid-day when the shadows look similar.

I am willing to guess that humans do way better in this case but we don't have the data of how many Tesla's went through this situation without an issue.

What an absolute farce.

Do we have good statistics over how well it does to a human without assistance facing the same conditions yet?

I am no Autopilot fan, but that doesn't seem like the best road design/layout.

Those shadows are confusing.

Edge cases are hard.
