As i qualified, it wasn't a true self driving car, but it was supposed to have sensors to detect front on crashes.
Driving into headlights at night or the sun during the day are some of the worst conditions i normally detect
Your comment that "the sensor would have seen clean air" sort of implies that the system cant cope with "all" real world situations yet, as there really was a truck there.
I'm not knocking the push for self drive cars, just how lax the systems are that allows obviously unready technology onto the roads.
These systems MUST allow for the fact that humans are still involved.
Just look at the increasing number of twits that are earning Darwins for using "devices" whilst driving. These new automated driving "assistance" systems must take that into account ( ie the driver will just zone out ), or not be allowed ( yet )
