I think the problem is that Tesla went all-in on optical sensors and relied on software instead of something "simple" like sticking a lidar on the front of the car.
I am assuming a simple modern lidar and software package with a field of view limited to "What can the car hit if it keeps going straight" and connected to the AEB would be a pretty fool-proof way of stopping this but that might be too much cost for too limited an application.

- digikata 5y agoFrom what I’ve seen a relatively simple radar is what many automakers are using as the main sensor for AEB. You can see them on the front grille, usually a small rectangular patch in the plastic about the size of paperback book. Though those have had their problems too. Obviously easier for them to detect other vehicles but harder for pedestrians.
