Im guessing it can’t detect them as objects at all, not that it can’t classify them as humans.

That seems like the car is relying way too much on video to detect surroundings…

Haha yes, but from the article I got the impression it was across all tested brands. Tesla is being called out at the moment for not having the appropriate hardware that other brands are using (e.g. LIDAR).
