One of the most common kinds of advanced driver assistance system failures that result in collisions, sometimes fatal ones, involves the system being locked on to a car in front of it, having that car change lanes quickly, and there being a stopped vehicle ahead. Usually, in these cases, the systems are programmed to ignore stationary objects, but even if the system recognizes the stopped car in front of it, it may be too late to stop.

Thatcham Research, a UK-based insurance research organization, published a video recently that shows this happening on multiple occasions in testing.
