This reminds me about the Tesla incident with the stoped firetruck, the software was programmed to ignore static o objects as an optimization, so we could have the software ignoring the hardware detection, I hope we can find soon what the sensors detected.

They didn't expect a problem, ignoring static objects in the road?
Something like that, https://www.wired.com/story/tesla-autopilot-why-crash-radar/

From what I remember reading it there are many static objects so they are having a hard time deciding what is safe to ignore,AFAIK Tesla is extra problematic since they want to use only cameras and not other sensors
