BLIS/Cross Traffic..Weird?

[kramf411]

I thought I noticed something weird as I was backing up at my workplace's parking lot this morning.

I was still in Reverse and moving while a vehicle from my RIGHT was approaching. As the incoming vehicle continued to move, the cross traffic alert came off with a notice that a vehicle is coming from the LEFT?. I do not know what to make of it - maybe just a glitch.

Both vehicle are perpendicular to each other. I estimated the MKZ's sensor to be about ~45deg / ~40ft to the body of the incoming vehicle.

Sometimes mine works, sometimes not.    I always glance backward whenever I go in reverse.  It helps stretch out my back. 

 

I know that when I back out of driveway and onto the road, every time I back out to the right, the alarm comes on telling me there is an obstacle on the left side of the car, when there isn't anything there.

This confirms my mind is not playing tricks on me then ?
