Mask the location of the car's 'static' location. It then becomes a non-issue unless it either exits or approaches the masked area which would presumably trigger the appropriate action for the detected activity. Masking out an entire area because of an object that's sometimes static there is 100% n...

There probably is, but intuitive or intelligent doesn't seem to apply to how AI is actually designed. LOL

Now that's funny.
