User asks if Autopilot detects short children without front camera
Unconfirmed: A Reddit post suggests that Autopilot's camera might not pick up short children on vehicles without a front camera in the bumper. The author proposes, as a possible workaround, parking the car tilted in the driveway so the pillar cameras can detect them. This is an open question from a user, with no tests, measurements, or response from the manufacturer.
