Inflatable Capybara in the Backseat Breaks Tesla's Onboard AI

Designer Michal Malewicz shared a funny moment involving a car's onboard AI: he placed an inflatable capybara balloon in his Tesla's back seat and let it float around, and the Tesla's onboard AI ended up reacting to this "passenger." The recognition results in the screenshot became the punchline—there's a cognitive gap between what the AI sees in the back seat and the inflatable rodent sitting there in reality.
