srs[/url]":3fvd8xtk]Not being able to see the road (and obstructions) due to the sun is far from "not perfect".

Leaving aside the sensor failure:

1) Why didn't the car stop when there was a sensor failure?

and

2) Why aren't there redundant systems using different technologies acting as backups?


#1 No sensor failed. It simply encountered a known deficiency in what it could sense. It was never claimed to be perfect.

That is CRAZY!!!

It was known that the sensor could be saturated by a rising/setting sun and the 'Autopilot' did not recognize a saturation event?

That is the very definition of 'failure'.
