They were using the radar for lane guidance. That's why they had to have a whitelist of locations where the radar was false triggered by the roadside environment. It never actually worked properly and they just papered it over with a hack to temporarily blind their input.

I'm pretty sure all of the phantom braking events due to underpasses were vision related, given that radar is essentially blind to the road.

Radar for lane guidance? Uh, are you sure?
None of what you have said is true.
