Above all I'm interested why the car apparently did not apply the breaks when a person appeared in the visible light camera.

The NTSB investigation should be interesting.

Because it likely only uses the LIDAR for obstacle avoidance. The camera is there for stoplights, other car's turn signals, etc.
