Why can't Autopilot see that this is a semi truck? Unfortunately there are things that humans cannot do yet, like make a computer vision systems reliable enough for autonomous driving.
Now there's a good chance that Autopilot calculated that there was some probability this was a semi truck and also that there was some probability it was an overpass. If your LIDAR map says that there is no overpass there then that makes it more likely to recognize it as a semi truck.

I NEVER said that autopilot was perfect today.
You are right on if a LIDAR map says that it isn't there, you may could react. BUT, what if it is a new bridge?
And the Caddies LIDAR mapping is only a VERY small amount of roads, 4+ lane limited access, divided, if I remember correctly. And really isn't too feasible on surface streets, where roads change way too much.
And honestly, heavenly powers aren't make humans that are reliable enough for driving either.
