If they have medium-range laser rangefinders, then they may be able to sense obstacles like this just at the edge of braking distance. Would work fine at night but maybe not so well in a sandstorm.

Yeah, I have an older car with not that great headlights. I imagine a self-driving car would have been able to "see" the hazard better than I could at night.
