Uh, what?

I think you're thinking of Doppler radar systems. You can do static scene imaging with radar, no problems (I've written the code to do it, even!).

There's no way in hell a car is going to be using a Doppler radar. In all likelyhood, they're using a plain-old FMCW system, and it can absolutely detect stationary stuff.

Model S likely uses https://www.bosch-mobility-solutions.com/en/products-and-ser...

(It's for sure a Bosch radar, but maybe a different one)
