A human did hit that..

I guess the point was the human was intentionally letting the car do its thing, though.

With their hands on the steering wheel and foot next to a brake and two people looking out the window.

Are you saying "they let the car drive on its own but were still paying attention"?

Not sure how to take this reply.

That a human was still in the loop in addition to a computer and both missed it.

Listen to the audio in the video. The humans do see it and talk about it for a long time before the car hits it. Had a human been driving, plenty of time to avoid it without any rush.

They do nothing to avoid it presumably because the whole point of the experiment was to let the car drive, so they let it drive to see what happens. Turns out Tesla can't see large static objects in clear daylight, so it drives straight into it.

But that's not what happened.

They saw it, called it out, and very deliberately let the car (not) deal with it because that was the point of what they were doing.

They did not "miss" anything.

They had poor incentives. The driver wanted to only use FSD for the video which is dumb.

But it doesn’t help disprove that it’s entirely the computers fault. They could have taken action if they were a rational driver.

From my perspective I think many people would have failed to take action. Swerving or hard breaking at those speeds is very dangerous. And many things on the road like roadkill or bags can be driver over
