Saturday, we're running errands in the "Tessie" when we pull up to a red light with a cemetery on our right. Not unusual in many towns given urban growth and all.
The Tesla "sees" everything in its camera suite, as you'd expect from a car that can drive itself. The main screen will show your car relative to other cars, traffic lights, stop signs, traffic cones, curbs, parking places, and even people. Nothing I wouldn't expect.
Back to the red light, I glanced at her screen and saw people on the sidewalk. I looked to my right, saw the cemetery...and didn't see people.
What in the absolute fuck?
I did that a few times and then asked my wife is this is a "thing" which she affirms and says is...NORMAL. She rarely drives by a cemetery without seeing people on a sidewalk in her car, but not in real life. I immediately Google that shit and I'll let you see that one for yourself.
The rest of the weekend, I stared at her screen. I never saw another case of "people on screen, but not in real life."
