b. Consider the same highway autopilot car from part a. Imagine a scenario in which every so often,
the driver reports that the car is following "too close" or the "following distance is too small"
You are tasked with diagnosing and fixing the system. How would you go about finding the root cause of
this issue? What information would you need to analyze and gather? Be specific, explain your testing
