I've watched FSD videos quite a lot, and I've never seen an issue related to sensing / visual detection. It always draws the road and other cars with decent accuracy. All issues happen in the planner, i.e. the car makes a wrong decision, not because it can't see something, but because it doesn't know what to do in that situation.

The hard problems in autonomous driving are not related to sensing, but deciding what to do in weird or complex situations.

See this video for an example of a typical problem in recent FSD (and you can see from the screen that it's not related to sensing / detection): https://youtu.be/eY3z1kgX5hY?t=74

It has trouble detecting speed bumps and potholes. I'm not sure if this is because the vision sensors fail, or because they have not been programmed to detect/display these features properly. Whatever the reason, the planner then accelerates right into them.
