It's hard to describe but basically it can't know what it can't see, and as humans we can predict. Take the image below and imagine it is a one-way road. You are driving down the right lane but the left lane is stop-and-go traffic. This means your view of the right lane is obstructed due to the turn, so neither you nor AP knows if there is a stopped car ahead in your lane nor how close they are.
Now if I let AP do its thing perhaps it would have stopped, but it was coming around the turn at a speed greater than I was comfortable with considering I assumed there would be a stopped car just ahead.
