I'm assuming that this is the one you are referring to?

You will note that this car was never advertised as autonomous. It is just posh cruise control.

You are confusing robotics with computers.
Asimo was a cleverly designed robot when it was built in 2000. Now, not so much. It was never a clever computer with clever senses.

Incidentally, have you ever seen a human walk into something? If so, does it completely invalidate the entire human sensory system?
