None of what you’re saying contradicts my earlier points. How can radar tell the difference between a 1.5m high truck undercarriage, and a 2.1m high passage if resolution is .5m? If they could detect the truck, why aren’t cars constantly triggering emergency brakes when near an underpass? Why are 10000+ collisions and 100+ deaths like this happening every year when a majority of cars have these systems installed? Why did Honda add cameras if radar is good enough? The answers seems obvious, but you can do your own research.

Maybe because the bottom of a truck trailer is far below an overpass? Lol like multiple meters? You are making up statistics now And because camera’s improve safety in some situations when used in conjunction with radar? That point is meaningless in a discussion about Tesla who removed radar entirely and the point being made here “cameras alone are not as good as radar” not “radar plus camera is better then radar”

  > That point is meaningless in a discussion about Tesla who removed radar entirely How so? You're trying to say that if they've kept radar this accident could not happen, and I'm showing you this is not necessarily true. Do you have any sources to back up the idea that radar-based collision-avoidance systems can prevent this type of crash? The data says otherwise. Here is a very extensive article on the subject, and it gives a much higher estimate (400 deaths/year): https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/article/trucks-underride-crashes-nhtsa-dot-iihs-safety-cars/ https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/article/trucks-underride-... That was the 'do your own research part', honestly there is a ton of data online about everything we discussed here. You cannot expect someone to provide sources for everything they say while all you're offering is opinions.
