I use Waze during my daily commute and it regularly gives me a warning about a stopped vehicle on the road or side of the road; would a crowdsourced system like that help for autopilot so they change their algorithms slightly to detect stopped vehicles more better? Or just reduce speed? Or alert the user and disable autopilot well before the location?

I'm aware that would be creating an exception for an exceptional situation and not really a root cause solution, but still.

I'd be extremely extremely hesitant to throw on more dependencies for life-death scenario handling.
