Listen to the audio in the video. The humans do see it and talk about it for a long time before the car hits it. Had a human been driving, plenty of time to avoid it without any rush.
They do nothing to avoid it presumably because the whole point of the experiment was to let the car drive, so they let it drive to see what happens. Turns out Tesla can't see large static objects in clear daylight, so it drives straight into it.
