Could Tesla have put up adversarial triggers nearby their own facilities to test, and it overlapped on whatever opencv or vision package pony.ai is using?
Using invisible-to-humans paint on signs for adversarial recognition attacks on autonomous driving systems would also be an anti-Tesla tactic not entirely unreasonable to consider.
"Tesla autopilot crashes right outside Tesla factory!" would be a desired headline for a certain crowd.
It'll be interesting to see what caused this, at any rate, probably less than 1% chance the above is what happened.
