So the “simple” failures are due to the very hard problem of reconstructing a “mental” model from multiple 2D images, and actually attributing different properties to objects recognized? Like you don’t have to stop at a plastic bag?

People learn these things for a long time and we actually have a proper model of the world for exactly that reason.

Yes but the notable incidents are not "car stopped for plastic bag"

The incidents that I have described would actually be resolved by 3d scanning technology (not saying that thats the correct approach either)

No they wouldn’t be solved. And there was actually an incident like that with a plastic bag.
