Assuming autopilot was indeed engaged, this seems to be clear evidence that cameras alone are insufficient to perceive big objects in a car's path OR judge its distance to them.
This car traveled in a straight line in near-perfect weather for at least 10 seconds toward a large motionless object blocking its lane and the next one, but still overlooked the danger.
Imagine if this had happened in bad weather or at night, where risk of failure is substantially greater. This degree of incapability implies that vision alone is not only inadequate to perceive obstacles ahead that should be obvious to any human, but profoundly inadequate.
