Perhaps the paint job of the truck or trailer contributed.

First Fleet trailers appear to be a metallic light grey; the trucks don't seem to have a particular livery.

With the other accident the Tesla was driving into the sun and both the trailer and truck were white-ish, so I can figure the vision system being fooled into not seeing them. In this case the sun was in the East, not that high yet, and the car was driving due South.
