These radar sensors project a very wide beam, they can't see much right in front of the car. For example, there was a car reviewer on YouTube that recently put ultrasonic parking sensors against a camera-based Tesla, and they perform about the same, with the camera slightly better in some situations because it's looking from above - the bumper-mounted radar cannot see objects in the ground right beneath it. Honda also just added a camera in their latest generation collision avoidance system, to cover a wider range of situations.
And that is not specifying the cone/detection range of the radar? It is just the work area to keep clear while performing an alignment - otherwise the horizontal range of the sensor would be near useless
Ultra sonic is not radar, and using radar cars regularly will follow things 10s of meters away. Seeing a semi with them is not a problem.
Parking is not collision avoidance- and using cameras for it is dumb. They don’t work in fog snow or adverse conditions that radar will
You are making up statistics now
And because camera’s improve safety in some situations when used in conjunction with radar?
That point is meaningless in a discussion about Tesla who removed radar entirely and the point being made here “cameras alone are not as good as radar” not “radar plus camera is better then radar”
How so? You're trying to say that if they've kept radar this accident could not happen, and I'm showing you this is not necessarily true. Do you have any sources to back up the idea that radar-based collision-avoidance systems can prevent this type of crash? The data says otherwise.
Here is a very extensive article on the subject, and it gives a much higher estimate (400 deaths/year): https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/article/trucks-underride-...
That was the 'do your own research part', honestly there is a ton of data online about everything we discussed here. You cannot expect someone to provide sources for everything they say while all you're offering is opinions.
