Thanks for the wake-up call. Why in the world is the front-facing camera not seeing an obstruction right in front of you??
Because all of this is still beta .. and will remain for years to come

And since the camera is forward of that point of view, I'm guessing the tail lights are not visible at all...would be interesting to see the internal dashcam view.Here's the moment the truck disappears.
A few observations:
The taillights merge with the cars in the two adjacent lanes (from the perspective of the autopilot cameras).
The black part of the truck is probably low enough that the computer ignores it or thinks it's a dark mark on the road.
The lift gate is about the same color as the road.
The top of the truck is about the same color as the sky.
Computer vision is really hard and that's why AP is in beta.

Would increasing the trailing distance to the max, seven lengths, help? I had a similar problem on a curve with the rear of a leading truck at an oblique angle. For me, the irony of EAP is that it increases your attention significantly like turning your car over to your teenager the first time. That has improved my driving.
YepSome people have disagreed with me on the point you've raised regarding attention. I have found that auditing autopilot well takes more work than driving (there are exceptions to this, like bumper to bumper traffic),
