Correct me if I'm wrong but one shouldn't crash their car into stationary objects either, right? Or I'm missing the point of your comment maybe?

- IshKebab 2y agoYou are correct. The point is radar in cars has really bad angular resolution so it can't distinguish stuff that's directly in front of you (like a stopped train on a crossing) from stuff that's just to the side (like signs). Since both signals appear identical to the radar, and you don't want your car to emergency brake every time you go past a sign, cars filter basically ignore stationary objects detected by radar. That isn't what you want, but it's a limit of current commercially viable radar technology.
