    Even the sensors in the backup function of my mother in law's Toyota minivan start beeping with anything within ten feet.

    "The trailer bed was up high with significant overhang of the rear axle while the car sensors are down low"

    So you're telling me the sensors couldn't see the wheels that are at their level in front of the Tesla and go "Hmm, maybe I should stop and inform the owner of an obstacle in my way which I cannot clear."

    Think about it. If this works well OUTSIDE of a tube where one must contend with the typical forces of nature (unpredictable crosswinds and such) and crash into sand on the track and remain on track OUTSIDE of a tunnel, then imagine the performance INSIDE a tunnel.

    This also doesn't cover for the fact that many stores don't share the exact same inventory, let alone carry the exact same product.
