I think the image is just meant to showcase that one sensor can be confused by edge cases. It's a good image that shows unintended interpretation of data. There are likely many other edges cases that are not as clear why a car will misinterpret them, which is why they went with this image.

Yeah. Once seen, engineers could correct for this kind of situation.

The point is there are many such unseen sitauations that current systems don't handle, and that diversifying the sensor array can help handle those.
