In other words an old ambiguous parsing problem.

It might be fixable in software. I'm a bit annoyed at Tesla for over reliance over painted lines. They fade, they can be covered, be outdated ..

That old fail video of a SDV stuck inside a circle is not funny anymore.

Off topic: I never understood why this video was discussed that much, especially in order to blame SDVs. It's an example of pointless road markings and a perfectly behaving vehicle. It's like driving into a one way street that turns out to have no exit. The driver can't be blamed.

I know, and partly agree. Still when you have something that hints at leaping into the future, a simplistic automata behaviour like this brings all to the ground.

We'd expect at least 'cycle' detection ;)
