The expectation is that a car that can "see" in a broader part of the spectrum than a human should have, y'know, detected a person in the street ahead, when there were no obstructions between the car and the person.

There have been cars on the market for years now that can detect a dangerous situation ahead, even in the dark, and auto-brake. If they haven't caught up to several-years-ago's consumer model of car, then what on earth are they doing putting these things on public roads?
