Why the car was not able to detect and avoid the collision in such a simple situation (from a human POV)? We have seen Tesla's autopilot performing very well in a much more complex scenario than this. Ref:- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FadR7ETT_1k

Stationary obstacles are a harder problem, because there are so many stationary objects and features around a road that have to be ignored.

This autopilot incident is similar to the one with the tractor-trailer[1] in that regard.
