Thanks, that's very helpful. When I first looked at your link #1, I thought the gore area was a lane, so I can see how a machine would get that wrong.

But if it is prioritizing "I'm in a lane, so I'm cool" over "I'm hurtling toward a wall with a very visible marker" then clearly more work needs to be done. (Worse still if it can't recognize such a visible obstruction in the lane.) And, I'd say, should have been done before they were turning people loose with it.

That's Tesla. Here's the famous fatal crash in China.[1] No braking at all, right into a work vehicle operating in the left edge of a freeway. Tesla's system just doesn't detect big solid stationary obstacles. There are three other crashes with dashcams in similar situations.
