Obstacles not detected
The radar sensor cannot detect plastic obstacles such as traffic cones. There may
also be occasions when the sensor cannot detect pedestrians, animals, bicycles,
motorcycles, trees, or snowdrifts.
■
A camera sensor cannot detect obstacles in the following situations:
●
A camera sensor is directly receiving intense light, such as sunlight.
●
Visibility is poor because of bad weather or other reasons.
●
The sensor temperature is extremely high.
●
The headlights are not turned on in darkness such as at night or in a tunnel.
