Bike Rack Sensor Interference

When I install my bike rack the warnings come up as if there is something close to the rear of the car. Is there a "Bike Rack Mode"? Would be nice to be able to turn off the rear sensors. I know you can put it in trailer mode and the warning will go away however one does forfeit autopilot when this is done. Am I missing something or is there an easy solution.

I just turn off the collision alerts for backing up.

I don’t run it in trailer mode so I can use autopilot.

There is no easy solution, you are blocking the sensors. Your car is partly blind.

This is part of why I’m getting the Cybertruck. Gives me a place to put the bikes without blinding the car.
