What's wrong with the test? Does it not prove that Tesla's self driving will happily drive over a child, making zero effort to avoid it, and continue on it's merry way?

They did another similar test that looked like this, and other people weren't able to replicate it. They also have a conflict of interest, and they're very motivated to make it look as bad as possible. They're not disinterested "researchers".

The problem with the test is that it's not a test. It's an advert for a product.

As long as they aren’t faking the test or results then it’s still relevant and incredibly concerning.

What lidar product are you referring to? The Dawn Project and founder are unaffiliated with any lidar company.

Are you perhaps referencing the unrelated test [1] by a unrelated lidar or maybe AEB company that was making the rounds a few months ago? That test was demonstrating the Tesla AEB system and whether it would override the human pressing on the accelerator like the other car. This is unrelated to the Dawn Project tests which evaluate the ability to avoid child pedestrians without intervention as seen in the videos.
