>Is it random? In my experience with Autopilot 2, it’s typically when the front radar is attempting to discern between a metal sign on an overpass and a large object in the travel path, and Tesla hasn’t seen that object enough yet to code it as a known false positive in the Autopilot data corpus.

Random as it concerns the actual road and driving -- in other words un-needed and unexpected for the driver (and other cars).

Why and how the Autopilot came to it, is really irrelevant, except to Tesla engineers.

If I crash because of Autopilot error it's no comfort knowing that it's doing its regular pattern matching just fine, it's just that something hasn't been seen enough to be registered as "as a known false positive"...

>So! If this happens while on Autopilot, press the voice command button, and then say “Bug Report <speak bug report here>”

Let me scrap the remains of my co-passengers and possibly my kids of the seats first. As for the bug, they'll learn all the details about it from my lawsuit.
