The context is that Tesla hardware is not sufficiently powerful, so they do "optimizations" and ignore stationary objects. This is not a video game where we can trick the player with some clever hacks, if the hardware is not fast enough the solution is to use better hardware and I think is very normal to see in newspaper when "autopilot" hits a wall, it is a public service even if Tesla fans and shareholders don't like it and try to play with numbers to show some statistics to favor Tesla(AFAIK Tesla still keeps the safety numbers they were using to promote their cools stats a secret)
