if only the Tesla had had even brighter headlights to see him!

I disagree with your statement that humans can't. I can see just fine at highway speeds at night with my halogen headlights, a fucking Tesla with laser beams can definitely see fine. especially on what I presume is an otherwise empty road (given time of night).

unless the guy ran across like a deer, it's pretty goddamn easy to just drift left and avoid someone at walking speed. I've done the manoeuvre many times for animals, garbage, etc
