Surely the front radar located in the badge would be the dominant sensor, especially in this case when a solid "reserved for sign" was directly in front of it. I more suspect that the systems had gone to sleep because the car was stationary and by the time they woke up it was too late.

Surely not for distances under 1 m. The front radar is handling long distance object detection for emergency braking and adaptive cruise control.

Well done everyone. Poster covers on here, tells a story expressing surprise but admitting fault and gets panned by bell ends with nothing better to do than be bitter to a stranger on the internet. I thought this place was better than that. You miserable gits.

It was his inability to appreciate the argument as to why the technology was unable to counter his actions in a timely manner.
Along with his inability to change radio stations without continually whining about the software.
