I thought people were saying in previous comment threads that Teslas ignore stationary objects because too many false positives from roadside objects that are not in the road. The combination of software and sensors on Teslas is not enough to be able to distinguish stationary objects in the path versus stationary objects not in the path.
Based on the slim evidence of the Chinese accident video and the LA post accident photo, it looks like that's correct -

- wilburTheDog 9y agoWow. That Chinese accident video confirms my worst possible understanding of this. There are no special conditions. If a truck is parked in your lane you're going to hit it. More people should know about this. Maybe people don't want to believe it. I don't know. But I do know that I'm not going to trust any system that doesn't have multiple LIDAR sensors. Though it may take a while for the price on those to drop enough to make it affordable.
