Doesn't seem too complicated... if ANY of the sensors see something in the way that the system can't resolve then it should stop the vehicle/force the driver to take over
Then you have a very unreliable system, stopping without actual reason all the time, causing immense frustration for the user. Is it safe? I guess, cars that don't move generally are. Is it functional? No, not at all.
I'm not advocating unsafe implementations here, I'm just pointing out that your suggestion doesn't actually solve the issue, as it leaves a solution that's not functional.
If they're using such unreliable sensors that they're getting false positives all the time the system isn't going to be functional in the first place.
All sensors throw a shitload of false positives (or negatives) when used in the real world, that's why the filtering and unification between sensors is so important, but also really hard to solve, while still getting a consistent and reliable solution.
