Hacked billboards make Teslas see phantom objects causing them to swerve or stop

For example, if a stop sign is on the same plane as the object that surrounds it, that's a strong signal that it is not a real stop sign but rather a projected or displayed one.

It's conceivable that in denser or older areas, signs are sometimes placed on structures because there isn't room for a pole.

Agreed. I didn't say it's definite, I said it's a strong signal. Even strong signals need to be weighed against other available data.

Apple Maps shows stop signs and traffic lights on the map. A database like that would be another strong signal, but also not always accurate.
