A Rivian R1T owner was creeped out during a drive through the woods after his car showed him invisible people. Dominic Armand (@dominicarmand) posted a viral clip documenting what he believed to be a strange experience. However, was his car really spotting ghosts? Or is there a more pragmatic explanation as to why his car was showing so many figures ambling about his ride?<\/p>\n

Rivian R1T Senses People That Are Not There<\/h2>\n

Armand\u2019s TikTok begins with him slowly driving between a line of trees.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust going through the dark woods and everything, right? About to be sunset. Spooky thing, though. My truck is saying there\u2019s people around me,\u201d he says, before panning down to his dashboard. Right above the steering wheel is a screen utilized to display various road information.<\/p>\n

In this instance, a series of blue human figures is depicted walking around his car. However, as the TikToker demonstrates by focusing his camera lens on the road, there\u2019s no one in the forest.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no people around me,\u201d he clarifies, pointing his camera back down to the dash. \u201cBut my truck says,\u201d he stutters as more and more people pop up on the screen. It\u2019s almost as if the vehicle\u2019s system is clocking a series of invisible entities swirling around his car. <\/p>\n

\u201cMy truck says people. Watch, if I slow down, they\u2019ll catch up. See? Right next to my,\u201d he says, then quickly aims the lens out the driver\u2019s side window. Again, it\u2019s desolate: \u201cThere\u2019s no one here,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Another invisible figure is then shown walking up to the side of the truck. \u201cOK,\u201d he says as the clip comes to a close.<\/p>\n

Driver-Assistance Systems Capture \u201cGhosts\u201d Often<\/h2>\n

This isn\u2019t the first time Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) responsible for traffic and road surveillance have caught \u201cghosts.\u201d For instance, a number of Tesla drivers have also reportedly captured these strange entities around their vehicles, as in a report<\/a> by the University of Nebraska Medical Center. According to the piece, Tesla drivers cruising around a cemetery near the infamous Arnold Estate of \u201cConjuring House\u201d fame saw what looked like human shapes in their EV\u2019s infotainment system. Unsurprisingly, they wigged out after clocking these shapes on their car\u2019s dashboard screen.<\/p>\n

The write-up went on to state that Tesla\u2019s sensors shouldn\u2019t be able to misconstrue inanimate objects as people. However, there have been recorded instances that prove otherwise. For example, one Brazilian driver\u2019s Tesla thought<\/a> a boy wearing an orange shirt was a traffic cone.<\/p>\n

ADAS Spotting the Dead?<\/h2>\n

CarWale\u2019s<\/a> breakdown states ADAS units are composed of a variety of \u201csensors, cameras, and radar.\u201d Moreover, the outlet highlights how these different pieces of technology work together in order to \u201cmonitor the environment around a vehicle.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, one may argue that it\u2019s no coincidence that Teslas and other EVs are seeing invisible people in cemeteries. After all, that\u2019s where corpses are interred, so wouldn\u2019t it make sense if there are at least a handful of souls floating around and chatting it up near the afterlife watercooler?<\/p>\n

Jalopnik<\/em><\/a> reports that it\u2019s no coincidence either\u2014but not for the reason some paranormal enthusiasts would like to believe. The website says that Teslas aren\u2019t seeing otherworldly entities; they\u2019re just pretty bad at assessing what a tombstone is.<\/p>\n

The structures come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Sometimes they\u2019re around the same height as a small child or adult human being. Additionally, the blog stated Tesla\u2019s ADAS road monitoring system is particularly limited by its over-reliance on cameras. Consequently, the amount of visual data being fed into its system and shown to viewers isn\u2019t being provided with sufficient information for accurate in-dash depictions.<\/p>\n
