Unfortunately, the adaptive cruise control is also far dumber than it thinks it is, slamming the breaks when passing under bridges on the highway etc.

Why? Because of shadows or does it operate on a 2D 'view' of the traffic situation?

IIRC it's an vision-only ML-based system. So the answer to "why" is probably "we don't know lol"

In my experience it's almost always shadows. I can't be sure of course, but I've definitively noticed a correlation: both shadows from overpasses or shadows from semis, this happens more often when the sun is low too.

It never happens at night though, which in my mind makes the shadows hypothesis weaker.
