Apparently some of you need a Halloween reminder that teslas can’t see ghosts

Here’s a Tiktok video from last week of a man acting as if the cameras mounted on his Tesla allow him to see ghosts on his old screen:

Happy Halloween to him, and to you. The video has been viewed about 11 million times so far.

If you’re 17 and want to scare your sibling this week by driving to your parents’ Tesla graveyard and pointing out “ghosts” on the Asscreen Display, I can’t and won’t stop you from doing that. I can warn you, however, that it is not logical, or in the sense of a spooky story. The corpses were reconstructed? Ghouls? Bones? This makes sense in the cemetery. Ghosts, however, are spirits that often avenge this one time, and live in important places from their lives, or places where they died, such as car accident houses, including mental ones.

However, in 2021, a Tesla driver who visited the cemetery pointed out online that the car’s non-lidar detection system mistakenly identified verages full of flowers for pedestrians. I say they pointed out the error when I say that a user posted a spooky video on Tiktok and it went up to 23 million views. That particular object detection system may come out, but since Teslas have no intentions of sounding machines that can use lasers to create 3D images of your surroundings, if there are human objects it is a very good mistake, if in fact that is what it is.

“The collision warning features cannot always detect all objects, cars, bicycles, or pedestrians, and you may receive unnecessary, inaccurate, invalid warnings, or Tesla 3 owner’s manual.

So the system is likely to monitor only the data fenced back in 2021. That’s a better kind of digital undoing than the other way around: People messing with inanimate objects. But it is still faly, which is a little worrying thinking about 2021, during the “original video of the first” Ghost “voluntarily of about 12,000 cars due to false driving with the system to find things, or” full self-driving beta “as Tesla calls it at the time.

This phenomenon is known by the seasonally appropriate name “phantom braking,” and was investigated by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Users on the Tesla Motors message board claimed to have experienced the Phantom’s arrest, including one who wrote “the car is always tricked by fake threats that one ignores.” One example they described was the shadow of a bird flying down the street – perhaps a talking crow, but the user left this detail out.

More than four years later, the discovery process has changed. It doesn’t include its ultrasonic sensors, for example. The new system “offers the autopilot’s high-spatial attitude, long-range power and the ability to identify and differentiate between objects,” according to Tesla’s WebSite Update page last month.

And along with that change, we get a new kind of spine-tingling tesla video. Instead of mingling with flowers and pedestrians during the day, the cool ghost tesla of the latest apparently mixes skulls and pedestrians at night. The effect that made the Tiktok video, thus, had tried the same base of the base of the video before this time of Halloween, but in the form of sponsored decoration advertising by decorating real people.

Gizmodo reached out to Tesla for any pertinent information about changes and improvements to its object detection system, and will update when we hear back.
