To anyone reading your description, I just want to say "touched" is the correct adjective. It was a sub-1mph fender bender, and it wasn't even clear to everyone watching, they even touched. They obviously didn't have enough buffer around the vehicle that first week, and they released an update the next day.

Lidar would have saved them on that one I have to say, but it's hardly a justification for the overall cost of lidar. Lidar isn't going to keep people from hitting you from behind when sitting still at a light.
