EDIT: Luminar's car is on the other lane, and there's also a balloon-child in the Luminar's lane. You can see Luminar's car clearly stop in the head-to-head test.

There's also the "advanced" test, where the kid moves out from behind an obstacle here. Luminar's tech does well:

This "tech" can't even see a firetruck in broad daylight. Why do you think it can see a child?

This isn't a one-off freak accident either. "crashing into stopped emergency vehicles with flashing lights in broad daylight" is common enough that NHTSA has opened up an investigation into this rather specific effect: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/inv/2021/INOA-PE21020-1893.PDF
