Driver is definitely the one ultimately at fault here, but how is it that Tesla doesn’t perform an emergency stop in this situation - but just barrels into an obstacle?

Even my relatively ‘dumb’ car with adaptive cruise control handles this type of situation better than Tesla?!

Your relatively 'dumb' car probably doesn't try to gauge distance exclusively by interpreting visual data from cameras.

Wait, the Model X doesn’t have RADAR/LIDAR to supplement the cameras?
