Air Compressor Tricks Collision Prevention Assist

Thought this was interesting: I was sitting in the left lane waiting on a light to turn yesterday. An F150 pulled up in the lane to my right towing an Ingersoll-Rand wheeled air compressor that happened to be running. It completely freaked out the collision prevention system: I simultaneously received warnings from both sides, front and rear of the car, which didn't stop until the truck pulled away. Not sure what exactly it is that interferes with the RADAR, but thought it was interesting.
