A). Most people people see non-usual traffic patterns ahead and go to Level 2 caution.
Either the driver ahead is insane, having mechanical issues, or there is a valid causation waiting for the next driver ie self, such as living things crossing the road.
B). Current A.I. only sees more obstacles.
I predict a paid subscription for "BMW driver mode" for assisted-driving.
For instance I was recently accelerating onto a freeway on-ramp at night at about 40-50mph. Car behind. Wide open and straight. Didn't have brights on, deer danger level was low, and it should have been a no brainer. Time to start texting that tax return right? I kid I kid. Bam. A huge black wheelbarrow right in the middle of the road hiding in a shadow. Brake and turn. Dodge that. Bam there again is the wheel and axle a few seconds ahead in the middle of the road. Dodge that.
The car behind thankfully kept distance and stopped....
The good ending is that I went back to move/pick it up and got a free $220 wheelbarrow after finding the remaining wheel in the weeds a few days later. A few scrapes but otherwise complete.
"In the event referenced, the vehicle approached the school bus from an angle where the flashing lights and stop sign were not visible and drove slowly around the front of the bus before driving past it, keeping a safe distance from children," Waymo told Reuters.
GMAFB. How many ReCaptchas do we have to click on to identify a school bus?

"complete with camera, lidar, and radar"
I'm sure their dash footage is totally submit-able as valid defense evidence in court.
