When was the last time you saw a "wall" erected on a freeway that was perfectly painted to mimic the current time of day, road, weather, etc. I'm not talking about for that example, i'm talking about in the real world.
The answer is never.
Yes, the optical sensors are fooled by an elaborate ruse that doesn't exist in real world operating conditions on a highway.
I still argue that for most normal driving circumstances, it is massively safer than humans who malfunction constantly.
I will never, ever buy a tesla so long as felon musk has any ownership in it whatsoever. The guy is irredeemable. Still have way more faith in self driving tech overall (industry wide) than human drivers though. That's the work of engineers, not an asshole.
