Tesla Car Detects An Invisible Person In A Deserted Cemetery

Tesla's autopilot seems to be able to see ghosts? This is the “spiritual” conclusion of many netizens after watching a video posted by Twitter user Ovidiu Maciuc.

Accordingly, on January 13, this user uploaded a video recording the inside of the Tesla Model 3, showing that the car’s self-driving system detected a person moving to the right of the car. A mysterious “shadow” continued to appear on the screen as the car slowly moved forward.

The thing is, when the driver brought his phone camera to see if there was anyone, no one appeared nearby. At the time of the video recording, the vehicle was moving closer to a cemetery.

In the comments section below the post, many joked that this is actually not the fault of the Tesla crash sensor system. Instead, this could be a new feature added by Tesla to surprise its users.

Notably, according to a netizen’s argument, there might be a possibility that the reimage recognition algorithms of Tesla’s external camera “mistakenly” recognized the bright wreaths next to the graves as people.

However, another netizen countered this comment, saying that if that was the case, the Tesla 3 would have detected more “ghosts” as the cemetery was full of flowers.

This incident again shows that the software for autopilot systems is still imperfect. Most recently, a driver once posted a video of his Tesla Model X automatically decelerating while moving on a highway in California.
