One can (and has been) fooled into thinking there is no object in the path - the other might be extra sensitive to any object in it's path.

I'll let you stew on that one for a minute...

Then that means the vision processing isn't far along yet to be viable for a car. There is no fundamental reason why it couldn't work though. With either stereoscopic vision or more temporal processing you could obviously detect when things are only painted on a wall surface, with both there really is no excuse to still fail except limited processing power.
