    If it’s Tesla, somehow crash into the mirror.

    Other cars would use LiDAR, detect the obstacle, and stop.

      Afaik lidar doesn’t work very well for detecting highly reflective or highly transparent objects. It’s possible, but not very straight forward and depends on what else is sorta “in frame”. I’m not sure how well lidar would fare when pointed at a large mirror that takes up a rather large portion of its fov.

      Radar wouldn’t be bothered though.
