A system with lidar would have definitely detected the obstacle and braked. For a lidar, which is an active sensor, it doesn't matter if it's daytime or complete darkness since it makes its own light.

FSD is inferring distance of objects as it has no direct measurements. It's a real challenge in darkness since camera is a passive sensor and it has to rely on visual cues. I believe BlueCruise is using a radar, but I'm not sure how robust it is.

I believe BlueCruise uses radar, gps, and mobile eye which is dual camera inputs. At least my 2019 ford uses radar+camera combination for lane centering, ymmv.

Edit: looked at a Mach e and it uses dual cameras behind the rear view mirror so likely intel’s mobile eye platform
