Quote:So unfortunately, Tesla is not the new ghost hunter. Data doctors like Ken Coburn are finding a not so chilling explanation. "So, it's going to always err on the side of caution to warn drivers of especially if it feels like there's a potential for a pedestrian to be in the dark. I'm sure the software is coded to almost overcorrect." So, is this a ghost or just a technological glitch? Who knows?
Is there really more low-level upright stuff (gravestones, statues, bushes, etc) in open-area cemeteries that over-cautious software could mistake for humans and pets than elsewhere? Maybe. But there ought to be alternative spots with similar conditions (but sans dead people) that could be tested for the same effect.

What? Test a competing theory? How dare you!
