False positives are a minor annoyance. False negatives are potentially catastrophic. So for this kinds of systems it makes sense to skew towards false positives. It is always a tradeoff.

They were definitely annoying alright. Even the collision detection on our previous MBenz SUV would go off at certain roads that were perfectly clear of obstacles.

Since OTA is not a thing on most cars. This becomes a permanent problem that a dealership cannot fix. Even if they wanted too.

With a Tesla (only one in the industry AFAIK), you can submit a bug report at the exact location via voice and a future software update might address it.
