Self driving doesn't need to be perfect it only needs to be better than humans.
Examples like this are kind of pointless because humans are incredibly bad drivers statistically.
Human eyes are far better than cameras at real time adaptation to varied lighting conditions though.
And we can predict what will happen pretty well and adapt to the situation dynamically. Our only weakness is that we do stupid shit like drunk driving, speeding and not paying attention.
