It was the right decision not because it was made of cardboard, but because it "fluttered".
If it had been full of bowling balls and just thunked to the ground, it would not have been the right decision to just drive over it.

I am not talking about any specific case. The difficulty is precisely in creating an autonomous system that is capable of making such embodied decisions. I learned to recognize how a lightweight object behaves with a lifetime of experience. The type of sensory input does not matter for this and if we are trying to train a system that is capable of this kind of deeper modeling of the world it is traveling through then the focus needs to be on building and training of such a system.
Fluttering boxes is just one of an infinite number of such embodied decisions I am able to make as a human living on the planet earth!
