The barrier was foam/Styrofoam, not a solid wall. Tesla also says Autopilot is driver assistance, not autonomy. https://www.popsci.com/technology/mark-rober-tesla-foam-wall-video/ https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/modely/en_pr/Owners_Manual.pdf

Popular YouTuber and former NASA engineer Mark Rober tested Tesla's camera-only Autopilot system against a wall painted He painted a solid wall to create an optical illusion that made it look like the road continued straight ahead, just like in classic Road Runner cartoons. A Tesla driving at 65 kilometers per hour did not recognize the wall as an obstacle and crashed straight into it without slowing down or braking at all. In comparison, a Lexus equipped with LIDAR laser sensors clearly detected the wall and activated emergency brakes to stop safely before hitting it. This experiment shows that relying only on cameras for self-driving cars can be tricked by visual
