I was driving on a state Highway this morning and happened to look down at the display to see a truck in the other lane. The truck blinked on and off a couple times then disappeared. The problem is there was no truck. I hadn’t recently passed one, either. The road was empty except for me.
I assume that the screen visualizations simply reflect what the image processing system ’sees,’ so it would make perfect sense of the processor sees an illusion that it would brake, then stop braking when it disappears.
I know we’ve all hypothesized about this before but this is the first actual evidence I’ve seen. In the end, it still doesn’t matter - it’s the job of the system to accurately interpret the visual input, so if it’s hallucinating then it’s failing, but it’s interesting from an academic perspective.
