Sounds pretty similar to the accidents involving trailers, where the top of the cars were sheared off because it didn't detect anything there.
> Neither Brown nor the car braked for a tractor-trailer, which had turned left in front of the Tesla and was crossing its path. Brown’s Tesla also went beneath the trailer and its roof was sheared off. After that crash Tesla CEO Elon Musk said the company made changes in its system so radar would play more of a role in detecting objects.
They got rid of radar, so I wonder if that's made it again more difficult to detect these scenarios.
