Accidents are not normal driving situations but edge cases.

Sort of; accidents are the absolute core of the product. They are rare, but they are the focus of the design.

By edge cases I mean scenarios like the lights going out in an underground garage; low vision due to colourful smoke or dust, or things like optical illusions or occlusion that a human would just need to remember.

Lidar can help, but not really enough to be worth it.
