It's not. When you're being blinded by sun, you don't suddenly see elephants or spaceships or comic books. You also don't think the world just disappeared - you know to just ignore the visual input.

Also, I'm more worried about temporary, unexpected configuration of things that suddenly make a NN see something weird.

That doesn't sound as an insurmountable problem.

Humans don't see elephants suddenly because a prior is telling them that an elephant is improbable in that context.

Something like that in a computer system shouldn't be above the current capabilities.

I agree it shouldn't be above current capabilities. But I'm yet to see anyone doing something like this. And I'm definitely wary about taking the results of toying with "deep learning" and saying we've can put that on a car and expect good results - which is an impression I sometimes get in articles about those topics.

Also, this will stop working the day an elephant escapes from a ZOO and manages to get onto a highway. All the autopilots will declare the elephant's presence as impossible, and will happily crash into it.
