My Lucid slams on the brakes if I am getting close to a small shrub, so I cannot figure out how it did not stop from hitting a low 6" pipe pole in ground when backing up, which was just below trunk height... I could not see it, but assumed my Lucid's sensors would take care of me, as I have settings on early intervention too. I had warning beeps, but kept inching back, with assumption I would get the long continuous tone if I got too close-- but never did, until I had a big thud and serious bumper damage. Why didn't it slam on brakes either--- like it does if I get too close to a tall weed or rose bush?? Really upsetting..

I don't know what happened to the rear camera guidance. Until the 2.3.0 update, I had active backup guidance with colored range markers. Now, only two parallel white lines. I asked tech support and they assured me this would get fixed with 2.3.10. That update was downloaded and installed with no change in backup guidance.

Dang, that sucks but a shrub is a much bigger object than a 6" pipe. The collision avoidance is to avoid hitting a human...even a small human which a shrub could mimic. A pipe is probably smaller than the minimum required object collision avoidance detection is capable of. Were you not observing your reverse cam at the time?
