Not here to defend Telsa, but drove 2014 Audi A6 and its blind spot assist would sometimes miss motorcycles and small cars (e.g. Mini Cooper, Fiat)


That's very sad as a motorcyclist who hoped that this would be a huge improvement. Most of the near accidents I've had have been inattentive drivers not checking their blindspots.


I've noticed blind spot detection on other car being unable to pick up small (empty) trailers when I pass them. They probably assume anything with less cross sectional area than X is a false positive in a config file somewhere
