They don't matter 99.9999% of the time and the rest of the time it's actually better to avoid the obstacle every single time. Kids play in cardboard boxes and die because people's "embodied" view doesn't account for that. Plastic bags wind around the wheel and break the car because people's "embodied" view doesn't see the danger of a plastic bag. Etc, etc. People are overall atrocious unsafe drivers and I'd be surprised if even existing driving system aren't superior to humans in terms of accidents.
A real issue is that the data from existing sensors is less than the data a human gets from our sensors which will leave edge cases that software cannot solve (ie: many Tesla autopilot accidents seem to be this category).
